ST. LOUIS Ladue Schools announced it is launching the Ladue Schools Online Academy(LOA) beginning with the 2021-22 school year.
When the district returns to its regular five-day, in-person schedule in August, LOA will be offered to families who wish to remain in a virtual environment.
Ladue isn t the first St. Louis-area district to offer a choice between virtual and in-person school. Last month the Rockwood School District gave students and families a similar option, asking for a decision whether they preferred in-person or virtual learning.

Students are scheduled to again walk the halls of Lift For Life Academy, which were once part of a bank, in January for the first time since the pandemic forced schools to close.
More St. Louis-area high school students will have the opportunity after the Christmas break to learn from inside a classroom instead of their homes.
That’s if plans from school leaders hold over the next several weeks. Administrators stress that all plans are tentative when trying to run a school district during a pandemic.
Several school districts in the region told St. Louis Public Radio they plan to add or resume in-person learning options for middle and high school students in January, in most cases after an all-virtual buffer week following the holidays.
