The Ogburn Online School, a fully accredited private online homeschooling provider based in Jacksonville, Florida, has been named the Best Virtual and Online School for the 2025-2026 school year by Homeschool.com. The annual award recognizes programs that demonstrate excellence in curriculum quality, flexibility, and support for homeschooling families nationwide.
This recognition adds to a growing list of honors for the school, which has served K-12 families for more than 25 years. 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. According to the school, it holds accreditation from six recognized accrediting bodies, a distinction that exceeds what many comparable programs maintain.
“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 highlights several key features of the school. Students can enroll year-round and have up to ten months to complete a grade level, with many finishing in as little as sixteen weeks. This flexibility allows students to begin their studies without waiting for a traditional school calendar. The school also reports strong college outcomes: of Ogburn graduates who apply to college, 95% are accepted to colleges and universities nationwide, including institutions such as Florida State University and the University of Georgia.
Additionally, the school offers NCAA-approved coursework, enabling student-athletes to pursue Ogburn’s curriculum while maintaining NCAA eligibility. Comprehensive student support is provided through certified teachers, academic advisors, technical support staff, and college counselors available throughout enrollment.
The Ogburn Online School has previously been recognized by other organizations, including being named among the nation’s top accredited online schools by TheBestSchools.org, included in HowToHomeSchool.com’s Best Homeschool Curriculum & Resources list, and honored by ParentsPickAwards.com as a top K-12 online school provider.
