EDUCATION GUIDE
Epic Charter Schools Oklahoma’s largest virtual charter school
What is Epic Charter Schools and who can attend? Epic Charter Schools is the state’s largest virtual charter school. The school serves students statewide in grades PreK-12 free of charge. Each student is paired with a certified Oklahoma teacher, who assists them in developing an individualized education plan, choosing curriculum and connecting them with all the resources they need. The school accepts students year-round, and any student who is a resident of Oklahoma is eligible to attend. What makes Epic unique? What makes Epic unique from other schools is the flexibility offered. Students can choose from multiple curriculum options and select the schedule and environment that works best for them. Further, each student receives a $1,000 virtual credit that can be used to purchase needed technology and supplemental curriculum tools as well as to access external extracurricular activities (such as horseback riding or ballet). With this Learning Fund, no money ever exchanges hands. Choosing from a list of approved vendors, students simply fill out an online form and Epic staff takes care of the rest.
Is there a cost to attend Epic? No. Epic is a free public school. How do Epic’s online teachers engage their students? Epic’s blended learning model allows for a mixture of in-person and online instruction that works best for each student. Some students attend a regular classroom setting each day at one of the Virtual Learning Centers in Oklahoma City or Tulsa. Others experience a mostly virtual setting, while still others prefer a mixture of both.
As a parent, I love how Epic allows us as a family to make the choices that are right for us. The choices and flexibility we have make it a great fit. Amanda Cole, parent
