“I know some families are still struggling with what to do with their children’s daily education, but for one day, let the students have their shining moment, the recognition of all their hard work, and a celebration of their future,” said, Melissa Hausmann, Executive Director. “We care deeply about each one of our graduates and we will sorely miss them all. We’re so happy they made it to this point and look forward to seeing what they will accomplish in the future.”

This year, the schools will have 94 graduates across all three schools. Most of the students qualify to take advantage of the Oregon Promise Grant, which helps to pay tuition costs at any community college in Oregon for students who have a GPA of 2.0 or higher.

Graduates are exploring in-state opportunities for post-secondary education, including George Fox University, Portland State University, University of Oregon, and Oregon Institute of Technology. Additionally, students are choosing to attend Portland, Mt Hood, Lane, and Chemeketa Community Colleges, to name a few.

When asked about specific career paths, the Class of 2022 described exploring HealthCare, Business, Education, and Visual Arts. The class also reported a significant number planning to work either full or part-time while continuing higher education, which they view as a valuable and necessary experience.

Students choose online learning for a number of reasons—some are looking to escape bullying, some may have fallen academically off track, and others are looking for an alternative to the traditional classroom setting.

Staffed by state-licensed teachers, ORDCA, CVA, and ISOR-PH are authorized online public-charter school programs delivering a hands-on, individualized approach to learning. Students can access a robust online curriculum in the core subjects and a host of electives and attend live online classes taught by state-certified teachers. Each school is inviting all families and friends worldwide to join the celebration.

Details of the graduation ceremonies are as follows:
