Central Linn Online Academy (CLOA)
Central Linn Online Academy provides a full-time online learning option for students who thrive in a flexible virtual environment while remaining connected to Central Linn School District.
Students have access to Oregon-approved curriculum, Oregon-certified teachers, and regular support designed to help them remain engaged, make academic progress, and successfully meet graduation requirements while learning from home or other remote locations. CLOA is perfect for students with life circumstances that make traditional brick and mortar learning difficult, such as, traveling athletes, actors, students with medical conditions, or those who need to work at their own pace from home.
CLOA students are fully enrolled members of Central Linn, with access to District teachers, specialists, services, activities, athletics, and the same opportunities available to students in our traditional schools.
FLEX Alternative Learning Options – Personalized Learning Program
(Click here for more information about the FLEX Program)
FLEX is an Alternative Learning Option under Personalized Learning Program provides families with a flexible educational option that supports individualized learning experiences outside of a traditional classroom setting.
FLEX gives K–12 students the freedom to build an education around how, where, and when they learn best. Students may combine home-based learning, online courses, in-person classes, hands-on opportunities, and a flexible schedule tailored to their goals. High school students can also take community college courses for both high school and college credit, including a Diploma & Degree pathway leading toward a CLSD diploma and an associate degree.
FLEX students are fully enrolled members of Central Linn, with access to District teachers, specialists, services, activities, athletics, and the same opportunities available to students in our traditional schools. FLEX is designed for students whose educational needs are best met through personalized instruction, family-supported learning, community experiences, and customized educational pathways developed in partnership with the district. Through regular communication and individualized learning plans, FLEX allows families to take an active role in their child’s education while receiving resources and support from CLSD.
