The Ogburn Online School, a fully accredited private online homeschooling and distance education 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 awards from Homeschool.com 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. The school holds accreditation from six recognized accrediting bodies, a distinction that exceeds what many comparable programs maintain. Students have up to ten months to complete a grade level, with many finishing in as little as sixteen weeks, and can enroll year-round without waiting for a traditional school calendar.
"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 also highlights the school's strong college outcomes: 95% of Ogburn graduates who apply to college are accepted to institutions nationwide, including Florida State University and the University of Georgia. Additionally, the school offers NCAA-approved coursework, allowing student-athletes to maintain eligibility while pursuing a flexible academic schedule.
Comprehensive student support includes certified teachers, academic advisors, technical support staff, and college counselors available throughout enrollment.
