What's the difference between iSchool Texas Virtual Academy and iSchool Texas High School? I'm trying to enroll my 11th grader and it has both options listed.
We appreciate you reaching out! I'll be glad to assist with the difference between both schools.
iSchool Virtual Academy is a Texas Education Agency (TEA) accredited tuition-free, online public charter school for eligible students. ISVA serves grades 9-12th for eligible students.
iSchool Virtual Academy - State & TEA Requirements: • Enrolling in grades 9-12 • Reside in the State of Texas • The school previously attended in the school year (2020-2021) MUST be a Texas public school, not private or out of state. • For home-schooled students, the curriculum must have been based out of Texas. • No older than age 26.
Attendance is taken through a mastery-based approach, meaning students get attendance through work completed on time. Not requiring students to sit at a computer from x-time to y-time.
