A New Online School for Ohio Families | MiaPrep Online Academy (MOAO)

Your child deserves an education that actually fits.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’ve been feeling something many parents feel at some point in their child’s education: the options in front of you just aren’t quite the right fit.

Maybe your child’s current school moves too fast in some subjects and too slowly in others. Maybe the environment itself feels challenging—too much pressure, too much rigidity, or a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t really fit your child.

If you’re considering homeschooling for the first time, it’s no secret that it can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also mean carrying a lot on your shoulders—planning lessons, grading assignments, and wondering if your student is fully prepared for what comes next. Your student’s education should be not only a great fit for them, but a great fit for you, too.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not being too picky. You’re doing what parents do: looking for the best possible path for your child.

That’s exactly why we created the MiaPrep Online Academy of Ohio—a brand new online charter school option designed to make a high-quality education accessible to students and families across the state.

What is MiaPrep Online Academy of Ohio?

MiaPrep Online Academy of Ohio (MOAO) is a new, statewide online charter school designed for Ohio students in grades 7–11, launching in the 2026–27 school year (with 12th grade coming the following year). 

MOAO is founded and operated by Miaplaza Inc., a team with over 20 years in online education best known for the Miacademy and MiaPrep learning platforms.

We designed MOAO to combine structure, flexibility, and mastery-based learning, so students can learn at a pace that truly works for them. Whether your student needs a more flexible schedule, a calmer learning environment, or a strong academic foundation they can build on, MOAO is designed to support your Ohio student, wherever they are.

With MiaPrep Online Academy of Ohio, your family can benefit from:

• Mastery-based learning so your child moves forward when they truly understand the material.
  
• Real, serious flexibility. Students can learn at the time of day and on the weekly rhythm that works best for your family.
  
• Certified teachers who support your student while keeping you involved.
  
• Built-in special education services and IEP support from the start, so families don’t have to struggle to find the help their child needs.
  
• Opportunities for connection through clubs and live sessions, helping students build friendships and community along the way.
  
• A clear pathway to an accredited high school diploma, so you can feel confident about where your child’s education is heading.
  
• Tuition-free enrollment, fully covered by the state of Ohio.

MiaPrep Online Academy of Ohio isn’t a traditional school simply moved onto a screen. It’s an entirely different approach that keeps the structure and accountability families value, while adding the flexibility and personalization many students need to truly thrive.
