March 29, 2018

Because no two people learn exactly the same way, sometimes traditional schooling doesn’t work for every child. That’s why QDA, an online K-12 public school, aims to provide students with individualized education, to meet their needs to succeed. QDA is open to any student living in Ohio, and, because QDA is a state-funded school, tuition is free for students. Though courses are entirely online, the education goes beyond a computer, as students also can enjoy field trips to museums, zoos, theaters and more.
