PRINEVILLE, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Students at Insight School of Oregon-Painted Hills (ISOR-PH), an AdvancED accredited online public charter school, will begin the 2017-18 school year on Aug. 28, simply by turning on their computers. ISOR-PH, which begins its third year of operation, is open to students statewide in grades 7-12.
An innovative middle and high school option for college and technical career-minded students, ISOR-PH offers traditional academic subjects, as well as two career-focused tracks for students: business and healthcare. Successful completion of these courses helps students prepare for industry-recognized certification tests. Together with their teachers and learning coach, middle school students develop an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) that helps prepare them for their high school pathway.
“As a statewide online public charter school, we provide a unique opportunity for students living anywhere in Oregon to engage in their own learning,” said Tim Jalkanen, head of school at Insight School of Oregon-Painted Hills. “This allows us to tailor an educational program that best fits each student’s individual needs and circumstances.”
State-certified teachers provide instruction, guidance and support, interacting with students and parents via email, web-based classrooms, online discussions, phone and face-to-face meetings. ISOR-PH uses the online curriculum provided by K12 Inc., which includes a robust Advanced Learner Program.
Students can also take advantage of ISOR-PH’s new quarter-system model. This program enables students to concentrate on just three courses each quarter (typically a nine-week period) and often helps students get back on track and graduate from high school on time.
Additionally, ISOR-PH offers student clubs and social events, as well as access to extracurricular activities and sports in participating school districts.
ISOR-PH is still accepting enrollments for this fall. For more information, please visit http://or-ph.insightschools.net.
