ChallengeU Ohio Community School students are required by the Ohio Department of Education to work 920 hours during the full school year for perfect attendance. Students who enroll after the first day of school will have their number of hours required for perfect attendance reduced based on their enrollment date. To meet the 920 hours requirement, students must work 5 hours per day on schoolwork, for a total of 25 hours per week. Our graduation coaches work with students and families to come up with a personalized schedule that works for them, and enables students to complete these hours any time of day and any day of the week. Students and Graduation Coaches also log offline learning hours which count toward the 920 hours requirement. In short, students are considered fully attending school if they log 25 hours of work per week.
