Who We Are
No two schools are exactly alike. Some have large classes, and others have small classes. Some focus on preparing students for college and standardized tests, while others emphasize creativity or technical skills. At TRECA, we believe each student has unique educational needs and passions, so you can't make education any one thing. For students to succeed, we believe their individual needs have to come first. That's why we built our philosophy around one idea: helping students find their own paths through school and beyond.
I love the flexibility and the high standard of curriculum! I feel like the educators can provide a better and more private level of instruction for the students.
TRECA is great at helping students complete work at their own pace and provides students a safe learning environment.
TRECA has changed our life and our family. They have shown our son that it is fun to learn!
At TRECA, I have been able to take advanced classes early in my high school education that I can't find anywhere else.
The teachers are really on top of the students and are very encouraging! TRECA also does a great job of getting parents involved.
Our Story
Our journey began in 2001, the year we became one of the first e-schools in the state of Ohio. In our first year, we served almost 700 students, a number that has grown to over 2,000. From the very beginning, we have always focused on one thing: our students. We know that providing them with a successful educational experience requires putting their needs first, which is what we've done every step of the way.
- In 2001, TRECA opened and provided each student with a desktop computer.
- In 2006, we created our Student Assistance Family Engagement (SAFE) program to provide consultations on social-emotional and family problems that may be serving as barriers to learning.
- In 2009, we started TRECA Flex, which allows any Ohio student to learn with us part-time by taking individual online courses while enrolled full-time at their local school.
- In 2010, TRECA transitioned from desktop to laptop computers and provided each student with a high-speed internet connection.
- In 2011, we created an advisor position to expand each student's learning support system and provide additional communication with their families.
- In 2014, TRECA provided each student with an iPhone and a hotspot internet connection, which allowed our students to learn anywhere.
- In 2016, we introduced our parent portal to give parents easy access to their student's progress and grades.
- In 2018, we started TRECA Tech, a career technical education program, to help prepare students for workforce jobs and earn industry credentials.
At TRECA, we believe that every student, regardless of their situation, should have more educational control and flexibility. For more information on our online learning programs, please contact us today.
