More and more students each year are choosing to attend a digital school rather than the traditional “brick and mortar” school for their K-12 school coursework. Digital schools offer maximum flexibility for students because courses are available 24 hours a day. Sometimes, digital schools become the option of choice for students who have not been successful in a traditional environment for a variety of reasons.
Nordonia Hills City Schools now has a digital academy like Ohio Virtual Academy, Ohio Connection Academy, and others.
Digital Knights OptionsThree options are available for current Nordonia students in the Digital Knights program.
