FIRST STEP THROUGH ACCLIMATION

GUIDING YOU & YOUR STUDENT FROM DAY ONE

All students are assigned a success coach on or before the first day of school. This coach serves as a homeroom teacher and engagement specialist. Combined with our certified teachers and professional staff, the success coach spends ample time acclimating both student and parents/guardians to our online learning environment.

We make sure students understand how to navigate our online-school before classes begin through a guided onboarding experience. This includes preparation time focusing on technology, systems and access to our academic program during the first week.

Parents are given an onboarding session which includes parent access and expectations. Within the first week a virtual tour and meeting with teacher/success coach will take place, in which students and parents/guardians will learn about live classes, drop-in office hours, review expectations and address any next steps.

FLEXIBLE INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL

MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR DIFFERENT LEARNING NEEDS

While our program allows for flexibility based on each student, however, students are expected to stay on pace based on the due dates assigned through the curriculum. Our teachers and success coaches are available in their virtual classrooms daily Monday – Friday to support our students.

FOCUS ON READING

FOUNDATIONAL SUPPORT FOR SUCCESS

For our 3rd and 4th grade students, we identify individual reading levels and address any gaps by providing supplemental instruction from our Reading Specialist in order to provide the best opportunity to be successful in our online school.

We understand the importance of reading and comprehension in our program, and offer individualized support to give our students the best chance of success.

ENGAGED TO BE SUCCESSFUL

“Engaged students are 2.5 times more likely to say they get excellent grades and do well in school, and they are 4.5 times more likely to to be more hopeful about the future than their actively disengaged peers.”

Tim Hodges via GALLUPSchool Engagement Is More Than Just Talk

At iSchool Virtual Academy, we recognize the significance of student engagement and the resulting academic success. We instill a sense of community by encouraging interaction between peers and with teachers through live instruction, homeroom activities, virtual field trips, and engaging clubs.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT IS KEY

ADVOCATES FOR PARENTAL SUPPORT

Even with all the support from our staff, parents must also serve as their student’s accountability partner in order to encourage and monitor consistent progression and success in their courses. Communication with teachers and success coaches is key to ensure success of the child.
