Although called an online school, students learn through a hybrid system and visit the campus at least once a month.
Previously, when students had to attend in-person, they gathered in portables on the Clovis Unified School District Business campus. Now, they finally have their own campus.
Teachers returned to work in brand new offices Monday morning.
Although students don't return to school until next week and often aren't on site, many showed up for the ribbon cutting Monday morning.
They're excited to finally graduate from portable classrooms to their own campus.
"It means a lot. It means a lot with the computer lab to be able to have an area where it's a lot more open, it used to be a portable where it was far and it was in a dark area," said Antonio Richardson, Clovis Online School Senior.
Antonio Richardson is a 12th grader; this will be his third year at the school.
He's one of the roughly 1000 students K through 12 who attend school there each year.
The school is a charter, so students from any of the counties touching Fresno can attend.
Leaders say there are a variety of reasons students opt for online school rather than a traditional setting.
"We have students who are coming because of social-emotional, they're needing a less stressful environment, something where they're going to be able to function a little bit differently and pace their day," said Principal Sean Osterberg. "To students who are trying to excel, get out of school quickly, trying to move on to the next chapter of their life, a lot of kids who are going through sports."
Students are remote the majority of the time, but do come to campus for assessments, labs, and additional support.
Principal Sean Osterberg said that in-person connection is beneficial for both students and staff.
As a charter school, Clovis Online will be making payments on the new facility.
