New Statewide Public-School Program Will Set
Students on Path to Education – and Career – Success
With demand for online school options at an all-time high,
enrollment is now open for the 2022-2023 school year at Missouri
Digital Academy (MODA), a new full-time, public-school program for
Missouri students in grades K-9.
Sponsored by the Laquey R-V School District, MODA will provide
students with a standards-aligned curriculum facilitated by highly
qualified Missouri-certified teachers, from the safety of their
homes or anywhere with an internet connection. And with the
school’s unique career-focused approach, students can pair a solid
academic foundation with hands-on learning experiences in career
exploration.
In addition to core classes, students at MODA can take
career-focused electives to explore their options in high-demand
fields such as Business and Marketing, IT and Cybersecurity,
Interior Design, and Restaurant and Food Services.
According to labor market data from Indeed.com, more than 7,000
job openings posted in Missouri in the last year require an
education level less than a bachelor’s degree. And with 800K
Missouri residents carrying nearly $29 billion in student loan
debt, MODA is opening at a time when families need learning options
that will strengthen students’ future educational prospects.
“Now that it’s easier for Missouri families to choose virtual
schooling, students will need options that prepare them for
personal and professional success,” said Executive Director Steve
Richards. “As an online school with a proven track record of
success as part of its curriculum, MODA is proud to introduce
families to a learning environment that meets their needs today and
sets them on a path for a bright future.”
MODA’s curriculum is provided by Stride, Inc., an education
leader with more than 20 years of experience delivering online
education to students across the country. Stride has worked with
schools and districts across all 50 states to help develop local
solutions to meet personalized online and blended learning
goals.
Enrollment at Missouri Digital Academy is now open for the
2022-2023 school year. For more information, visit MODA today.
