WHAT STUDENTS AND PARENTS SAY ABOUT IROQUOIS SCHOOL DISTRICT CYBER ACADEMY

“The district cyber program was the best fit for my son with being a little anxious while in traditional school.” “The synchronous classrooms [homeroom, office hours, writing lab] benefited my learning experience by allowing me to fully understand the subject and helped me connect with the teachers.” “Daily homeroom reminded me when the due dates were and never had me behind in my classes.” “Considering cyber school is so flexible, having the weekly deadlines contributed to my success because everything was always due at the same time no matter what the assignment was.” “This program taught me how to stay organized and how to work independently.”
