Program Overview
Is the iAcademy right for you?
- Are you homeschooled or attend a private school, but you need more support with the challenging high school curriculum?
- Would you benefit from a blended schedule that provides flexibility to meet your needs?
- Is it sometimes difficult for you to attend a high school that meets daily on a regular schedule? (ex. you are involved in competitive sports and travel, have an illness, etc.)
- Are you self-motivated, committed to academic success, and able to monitor your own progress?
- Do you have the proper support at home to help you be successful?
Students can choose from a variety of options, including:
- 100% virtual learning – all classes are taken online, through the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) or Virtual-ISS (VISS).
- Blended schedule – students can build a course load that meets their needs, using a mix of online classes and traditional or homeschool classes.

- Long-term medical leave - Students who are confined to their home or hospital may stay on track by completing their coursework online.
