The students of Idaho Virtual Academy (IDVA) and Insight School
of Idaho (ISID), online public schools serving K-12 grade students
throughout the state, are ready to take charge of their futures.
IDVA and ISID will celebrate their graduates in person with three
commencement ceremonies during the week of May 22nd.
“Our graduates have worked hard, and I, for one, can’t wait to
give them some recognition for all their hard work,” said IDVA
& ISID Executive Director, Kelly Edginton. “We are very proud
of our graduates and look forward to seeing what they do next!”
Collectively, the class of 2023 for both schools includes 195
graduates. Approximately 60 students will graduate with a
cumulative GPA of 3.5 and above. 50% of IDVA’s and ISID’s seniors
have reported they will attend trade schools, colleges, and
universities across the country, as well as several branches of the
military. Many students are also headed straight into the workforce
or will serve missions immediately after graduation.
At IDVA, 14 students are graduating Suma Cum Laude (GPA of 4.25
or higher), 8 students are graduating Magna Cum Laude (GPAs of
4.0-4.24), 14 students are graduating Cum Laude (GPA of 3.75-3.99),
and 18 students are graduating with Honors (GPA of 3.5-3.74). At
IDVA’s alternative school, ISID, 1 student is graduating Suma Cum
Laude (GPA of 3.75 or higher), 5 students are graduating Magna Cum
Laude (GPAs of 3.5-3.74), 14 students are graduating Cum Laude (GPA
of 3.0-3.49), and 11 students are graduating with Honors (GPA of
2.5-2.99).
The keynote speaker for the graduation ceremony at the Blackfoot
Performing Arts Center will be Sherrilynn Bair, the Idaho Public
Charter School Commission’s Vice Chair.
IDVA and ISID graduates have crossed the finish line and are
prepared for their next life adventures. Students enroll in virtual
school for a number of reasons—some were looking for the safe
learning environment that online school provides, some were looking
to get back on track to earn their high school diploma or to
enhance their learning opportunities, and others found a community
of students and teachers where they could belong for the rest of
their academic career and beyond.
Idaho Virtual Academy and Insight School of Idaho students
access a robust online curriculum in the core subjects and a host
of electives and attend live virtual classes taught by
state-certified teachers.
Idaho Virtual Academy and Insight School of Idaho invite all
families and friends to join the celebration. Details of the
