Sophomore Chloe Pyrioch’s school days are not at all typical. Instead of heading to a traditional classroom, she starts her morning caring for her herd of dairy goats—overseeing their nutrition, breeding and registry maintenance—before diving into her coursework at Tippecanoe Online Academy (TOA).
Chloe is one of more than 90 students enrolled in TOA, an online learning program through Tippecanoe School Corporation. The program partners with Arizona State University to offer high-quality flexible courses while ensuring students receive guidance from full-time TSC teachers and learning-success coaches. This structure allows Chloe to balance her academics with her passion for raising and showing goats.
“I love the flexibility TOA gives me,” Chloe says. “I can focus on my schoolwork and still have time to take care of my animals, which is something really important to me.”
Beyond her farm responsibilities, Chloe stays connected with hands-on learning opportunities. TOA students can take in-person classes at the Greater Lafayette Career Academy, participate in extracurricular activities like 4-H, or gain real-world experience through part-time jobs.
As a free, public online school open to all Indiana residents, TOA provides students with the flexibility to design their education around their goals and interests—just like Chloe has.
