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 award, announced July 17, 2026, 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 recognize 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 school's accreditation includes six recognized accrediting bodies, a distinction that exceeds what many comparable programs maintain. Students benefit from a self-paced curriculum with year-round enrollment, allowing them up to ten months to complete a grade level, with many finishing in as little as sixteen weeks. This flexibility eliminates the need to wait for a traditional school calendar.
College outcomes are strong: 95% of Ogburn graduates who apply to college are accepted to institutions nationwide, including Florida State University and the University of Georgia. Additionally, the curriculum is NCAA-approved, enabling student-athletes to maintain eligibility while balancing academics with training and competition.
Comprehensive student support is a cornerstone of the program, with certified teachers, academic advisors, technical support staff, and college counselors available throughout enrollment. The school's diploma is accepted by colleges, universities, employers, and the U.S. military nationwide.
This recognition follows other industry honors, including being named among the nation's top accredited online schools by TheBestSchools.org, inclusion in HowToHomeSchool.com's Best Homeschool Curriculum & Resources list, and recognition by ParentsPickAwards.com as a top K-12 online school provider.
