I am a highschool senior graduating this spring of 2024, and I have attended IUniversity for the past two years. I’ve had many experiences with various schools throughout my eduction career but iUniversity has been the best! They are so intentional in connecting with us as students and challenging us in excellence. When I tell others about my school, they often are a little intimidated because it is online. I always assure them that our teachers are so involved in caring for each and every student. Each student even has their own go to teacher throughout the year who is always there to cheer us on! Additionally, all of our teachers are easily accessible and open to answer any questions. If I were to offer advice for improvement, I would make it more accessible for students to use webcam/video streaming. I wish to see more of my classmates faces in class. However, IUniversity Prep is excellent all over!...

  8. iSchool Virtual Academy of TexasOnline School·Texas College Preparatory Academies, TX·3-12·Rating 4.3 out of 5 113 reviewsSenior: In all, iSchool has been very beneficial for me. It let me balance a school/work/social life all together due to the fact the classes are not something you have to do at a certain time of the day unless it’s with the live classes. They do have due dates but the due dates aren’t anything crazy fast while also being at a good pace. Not only that but you have a choice to fast track some of the classes and get it done earlier which is also super helpful. My teachers at iSchool are also very helpful whether I have questions or just need assistance with an assignment. They’re very welcoming and make me feel super comfortable talking to them. The only “worst” part about this school is that sometimes teachers aren’t available but it’s very unlikely that they aren’t. Overall I recommend this school to anyone thinking about going online just because of how helpful it has been for me and educating just as any other in person school, in fact, I feel it’s better in my opinion....

  9. Texas Virtual Academy at HallsvilleOnline School·Hallsville Independent School District, TX·3-12·Rating 4.57 out of 5 96 reviewsSenior: I loved my time at TVAH! The flexibility of the classes allowed me to excel academically. The teachers were supportive and I made many friends. Participating in class allowed me to get to know most of my classmates and teachers. Everyone seemed to know who I was, and I felt like I belonged to a community. Thanks to my counselor, I was able to graduate a year early, get accepted into a Tier 1 university and plan to attend this fall. I took on dual credit, which helped me earn enough credits to graduate early, and I am also graduating from the top 10% of my graduating class. I had also been accepted into the NHS and received a volunteer internship. One thing I'd like to see change in the future for other students is more language classes. I am overall satisfied with the school's offerings and opportunities for students. I wish I had enrolled sooner! The school has a strong sense of community and school spirit, creating a positive and inclusive environment for all students to thrive in....

Two years ago we were looking for a high school for our daughter. We were evaluating several options to see what the best school option would be considering her goals, personality, and and academic achievement. We were impressed with Valor's combination of face-to-face classes via zoom and the in-person events throughout the year. We felt like this would give her the best options for building a community while also challenging her academically with a Christian world-view and focus on missions and entrepreneurial mindset. We love that the adults met our student where she was, encouraged her to grow academically, socially, and spiritually. They are building connections to call out the best in her while also supporting her leadership skills and cultivating her natural abilities. She is thriving and enjoying high school so much. We are continually thankful for the opportunities presented for families also through VGO!...
