The Ogburn Online School, a fully accredited private online homeschooling and distance education provider, has been named "Best Virtual and Online School" for the 2025-2026 school year by Homeschool.com. The recognition adds to a growing list of honors for the school, which has served K-12 families for more than 25 years.
Homeschool.com's annual awards highlight programs that demonstrate excellence in curriculum quality, flexibility, and support for homeschooling families nationwide. The Ogburn Online School was selected based on its self-paced learning model, multi-agency accreditation, and track record of preparing students for college, career, and military pathways.
"Being named Best Virtual and Online School by Homeschool.com is a meaningful honor, especially coming from an organization trusted by homeschooling families across the country," said Chris James, Admission Manager at The Ogburn Online School. "This recognition reflects the work our teachers, academic advisors, and support staff put in every day to help students succeed on their own terms and their own timeline."
The award recognizes The Ogburn Online School's commitment to providing accessible, high-quality education through multi-agency accreditation, self-paced year-round enrollment, strong college outcomes, NCAA-approved coursework, and comprehensive student support. The school holds accreditation from six recognized accrediting bodies, a distinction the school notes exceeds what many comparable programs maintain.

Student-athletes can pursue Ogburn's curriculum while maintaining NCAA eligibility, allowing them to balance academics with training and competition. Certified teachers, academic advisors, technical support staff, and college counselors are available to students throughout their enrollment.
