Public, Private, and Home School Information

IVS is recognized by the College Board and NCAA.  IVS's CEEB Code is 140188.

 

Through Illinois Virtual School, Illinois school districts, non-public schools and parents of home-schooled students can provide students with access to a wider range of course offerings, with the opportunity to develop their capacities as independent learners, and with increased time and opportunity to achieve because learning online is neither time nor place dependent.

"I continue to recommend IVS to our students and parents.  We feel that the teachers are excellent and that the entire program does everything possible to ensure student success. "    - Ms. Pat McDonell, Academic Dean for Regina Dominican High School
 

How Does Your School Become an IVS Partner School?
All students enroll in the Illinois Virtual School through their regular school. The student’s school (public or private) must first agree to participate in IVS.

 

To review a list of IVS Partner Schools, please open the IVS Partner School list.  The schools are identified by area of the state (e.g. Area I through VI) and alphabetically by district.

 

If your school is not listed, it is very easy to become a partner school.  Pease download, review, and complete the form within the Partner School Information Packet (PDF). Updated Nov 26, 2012.
