Our Vision:

Optimize Academy- where education, athletics, and wellness come together to shape the next generation of student-athletes. Designed for homeschoolers in grades 6–12, our co-op offers a unique blend of academic excellence, sports training, and nutrition education in a supportive, community-driven environment. At Optimize Academy (OA), we believe in developing the whole student—challenging their minds in the classroom, strengthening their bodies through purposeful athletic training, sport specific training and encouraging lifelong healthy habits. Whether preparing for collegiate athletics or simply striving to reach personal goals, our students grow with confidence, discipline, and balance.

Each school day your student will be greeted by our adult academic liaison who will serve as a bridge between each student, family member and our online platform, Minnesota Virtual Schools (MNVS). MNVS is a fully-accredited, online Public School. As the state’s oldest and most trusted online public school it offers a wide range of benefits compared to other online platforms, including:

  • Flexible Learning Environment: Tailored to fit each student’s unique needs, allowing for a personalized pace and schedule.

  • Community and Connection: Beyond academics, MNVS fosters a sense of belonging through clubs, activities, and personalized support.
