Our goal today, just as it was when we opened more than 20 years ago, is to inspire and empower students through an education experience tailored to each child’s needs.

Kelly Peppard, Digital Arts
Kelly Peppard brings digital art to life for TXOA students, helping them explore their creative potential while earning fine arts credit. In her class, students use accessible software, tackle open-ended projects, and gain confidence in skills they didn’t know they had—all while preparing for careers in the arts or beyond.
“TXOA lets students fit learning into their lives, giving them the chance to try new things and explore careers, like digital art, in ways they couldn’t in a traditional classroom.”

Everyone’s experience is personal at TXOA. Check out what our students and families have to say about theirs!
I’ve been able to do so many things that you might think wouldn’t be possible in online school. I’ve had debate club, trivia club, an esports team, and so many others. Sure, that starts behind a computer screen, but it’s a world that’s opened through it.
We have prom and homecoming. The dances are so fun. You feel safe there, and everybody’s very welcoming. They put a lot of work into it. Student council runs it, so they get to decide all the dance themes and ideas, and I got to [provide] some input, so that was fun!
The community with TXOA is excellent. All the activities, the field trips, the online engagement, even though they don't have peer-to-peer interactions daily in person, they build friends. Some kids were even right down the street from us!
