With homeschooling on the rise nationwide, we’d love to connect you with Adam Mangana, Co-Founder and CEO of Optima Ed, the first full-time VR homeschool backed by Meta. He’s available for interviews and can even demonstrate the immersive technology live.

Optima Academy Online currently has full-time students in Florida, Mississippi, and Texas, with new access opening up in states like Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Idaho. This expansion reflects the growing demand for flexible, high-quality alternatives to traditional classrooms.

As test scores continue to decline and parents seek real solutions, Optima stands out as the first VR charter school in the U.S. and a state-approved virtual academy. Backed by Meta’s VR technology, Optima combines standards-aligned curriculum with immersive field trips and AI-driven learning experiences that boost engagement, reduce distraction, and build student confidence.

Led by Adam Mangana, an EdTech pioneer and Capital One Catapult Pitch competition winner, Optima is reshaping what school can look like for families across the country. Adam brings over 15 years of experience in education and technology and is ready to share how VR is leveling the playing field for students.

Let us know if you’d like to schedule an interview or a live demo with Adam to see first-hand how Optima is changing the future of education.
