Why we created MOAO
However, some families that have used and love our curriculum find that homeschooling is not the right fit for them long-term, because they need more structure and academic support. MOAO offers the best of both worlds: students get dedicated teachers and the structure of a traditional school without sacrificing the scheduling flexibility and home-based comfort that make independent learning so effective. It's the support of an online school paired with the freedom families need. MOAO is an extension of our core mission to provide great learning experiences for students, homeschoolers or otherwise.

As a public school MiaPrep Online Academy of Ohio is also bound to regulatory requirements such as documenting 920 hours of learning per student every school year, a free laptop lending program for students, IEP and 504 plan accommodation, truancy enforcement, and the administration of state testing once per school year.
MiaPrep Online Academy of Ohio is shaped by its operator, Miaplaza, which created learning platforms including Miacademy and MiaPrep and serves over 130,000 homeschool student across the country.
