Blended learning

Akron Digital offered a blended learning education model that is a combination of a traditional school model and an "online" school model. In a traditional setting, a student attends a school building five days a week while scheduled in various class periods throughout the day. An "online" school model is where a student works only from a computer, where all of the courses are offered through online curriculum.^{[citation needed]}

History

Akron Digital Academy was founded in 2002. Initially sponsored by Akron Public Schools, the district cut ties in 2013. It went out of business and closed in June 2018 due to strains on the school's budget from repayments to the state.^[1][2]
