Frequently asked questions
How does Smartious work with Ohio's Notification Option for Columbus families?
Ohio requires annual Notification of Intent to your local school district plus one annual academic assessment (standardised test, certified teacher review, or alternative). Smartious provides transcripts, graded coursework, and assessment documentation that satisfies Columbus City Schools, Dublin City Schools, Olentangy Local, Westerville City Schools, and surrounding district requirements. Religious families can alternatively use Ohio's "08 school" pathway.
Can my Columbus child combine Smartious with Ohio College Credit Plus at Ohio State?
Yes — and this is one of the strongest pairings available in any US state. Ohio College Credit Plus lets homeschool students aged 13+ take FREE college courses at Ohio State, Ohio State Newark/Marion/Lima/Mansfield, Columbus State Community College, and all Ohio public universities. We coordinate scheduling so your child does Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level core subjects with Smartious while accumulating free Ohio State credits in electives. Many Columbus homeschool graduates enter OSU with 30+ free college credits already earned.
