School Partner Corner

Have you considered a Virtual Block in your student schedule?

We have begun to partner with several schools that have a virtual block that allows students to take Credit Recovery, Core, Honors, AP, CTE, Electives, PE, or Health as needed. You provide the space, a virtual learning facilitator, and we provide the teacher, rigorous content. If you are a public school, all enrollments are eligible for reimbursement through the Illinois Virtual Course Catalog.

Do you anticipate TEACHER SHORTAGES for SY2526?

Please fill out this TSS intake form to let us IVSA know what needs you are anticipating. FIlling this out does not bind you to using IVSA, but we can begin to explore this partnership for next school year. The sooner you let us know, the more likely we can cover your shortages!

The University of Illinois Pilot Program

Be sure to REGISTER for The University of Illinois Pilot Program for SY2526 if you have not already requested Teacher Shortage or a Credit Recovery program.
