Capital Area Online Learning Association

The Capital Area Online Learning Association (CAOLA) is a collaborative effort between the Capital Area Intermediate Unit (CAIU), member school districts, and intermediate units to provide new learning options for our students. CAOLA’s web-based courses meet the increasing demand for high-quality student instruction that incorporates proven online learning practices and next-generation software. The key objectives of the program are to address the unmet needs of students by increasing available learning options, meeting various learning modalities, connecting required learning to real-world applications, and increasing available options for credit recovery, interventions, homebound, and alternative education.
