A New Adventure
The unique OSOTA experience is what distinguishes us from other schools. #Oneschoolofthearts has a community and culture like no other. In response to this time of need, we are launching something that’s been in our hearts for years but the timing hasn’t been quite right. With 2020 vision, we can see clearly that now is the time to launch the vibrant community expression: OSOTA Online & Out of the Box.
The solution we present is as exciting as the launch of our new campus in 2013, the groundbreaking for the new buildings in 2017, and the first day of school, well, every year since! One School of the Arts will wholeheartedly welcome returning and new scholars in August onto our 11-acre campus, but also, we will welcome scholars onto our virtual campus, providing a groundbreaking opportunity for school at home.
What is OSOTA Online and Out of the Box?
OSOTA Online & Out of the Box is a combination of Live Virtual Instruction in real-time with in-class peers and teachers and a carefully curated out-of-the-box curriculum designed to provide that unique OSOTA experience. We're embracing the spirit of adventure and creating an appetite for discovery, excitement, and anticipation. It's the same OSOTA with a virtual upgrade. This year we are meeting families where they are.

How does it work?
Upon acceptance, scholars will be a full participant in all core subjects, experiencing our OSOTA curriculum live with their peers in school thanks to our Swivl Robots and technological infrastructure. Scholars will attend class at the same time as their peers, and will be able to see, hear, and engage in classroom activities in real-time. Scholars will be provided a detailed schedule of classes, and will sign off on a set of online rules and expectations ranging from uniforms to digital citizenship.
We will be very intentional with our scholars’ social and emotional development and maturation.
They will have the privilege of working with our outstanding counselors as a collaborative online
community and as individuals. We will have a selection of ‘elective’ coursework to engage in, and we will be providing materials and activities to support classes, spark curiosity, and engage in ‘out of the box’ thinking. Daily, our dedicated online educators will work within online huddles to cultivate meaningful connection as is the OSOTA way.
Families must apply to be considered for OSOTA Online & Out of the Box. Reservations for families that have documented medical vulnerabilities and/or other extreme circumstances will be given first priority in applying for this 100% online option. Unlike Florida Virtual School, or even distance learning last year, limited electives will be available for scholars to attend. Scholars must remain enrolled in this option for the duration of the semester. We will also use this program for our scholars who need to transfer for a period of time from our physical campus to our digital campus. Scholar Tuition and Fees for either on campus or digital campus enrollment are identical. Stay tuned for more details.
