Principal’s Message
July 2026
Hello DDOA Families,
We are excited to welcome you to the 26-27 school year! Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are so happy to partner with you in your child’s education. Over the last four years we have continued to grow and expand our services for students and families. Online learning is a unique experience for families and we strive to provide a space for flexibility and growth without barriers.
Here you will find information on our programming, courses, resources, and opportunities for families. We offer a comprehensive Kindergarten through 12th grade program and strive to build relationships with each student while working fully online for coursework.
Kindergarten through 5th grade students have a full time teacher dedicated to their class. We offer monthly in person meet-up activities, quarterly online assemblies and student recognitions throughout the school year.
Our 6th-12th grade students complete their coursework in the Apex curriculum with support from David Douglas teachers. DDOA Middle and High School students are eligible to take in person courses, while being enrolled full time with us. They will receive post secondary planning support throughout high school and are invited to join our online clubs and groups, as well as take part in sporting events and social activities at their neighborhood school.
By offering these in-person opportunities, online clubs and activities, and additional support we hope to set ourselves apart from other online schools and ensure that our students remain connected to the David Douglas community.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or in need of additional information.
