Frequently Asked Questions

There are a lot of reasons why a traditional, one-size-fits-all classroom may not fit you. Some students need more challenge or a flexible schedule that adapts to things like work and travel, a busy athletics calendar, medical concerns or family obligations. Maybe you want classes that actually relate to that future you've been dreaming about or more attention than a teacher juggling 30 students at a time can give. Others just find the daily "drama" of traditional middle and high school way too distracting.

In addition, students preparing for the 21st century will find that education and job training has changed. Colleges and universities, vocational programs and top employers are all using virtual classrooms to teach and train. In fact, several states around the country are mandating all high school students take and pass online courses in order to graduate. Now may be the right time to start your own online education.

Learning online is a great way to avoid the "drama" and distractions that are so common to traditional school settings. Our interactive learning environments give teachers full control of student-to-student exchanges, so you can feel safe and secure. Students also gain a more flexible schedule, an individualized curriculum built around your interests and goals, and personal attention from teachers and advisors.

No. Self-motivation, time management skills and a commitment to education are key factors in achieving success in an online environment.

Parents play a critical role in student success in any educational setting. iForward encourages students to become more independent, but your student will still want your support and encouragement and may need help learning time management and communications skills. Few iForward parents need to be deeply involved every single day, but the lines of communication between teachers, advisors and parents are always open.

iForward offers a complete range of courses, curriculum, social events and activities that enable our students to enjoy and succeed in school. We know what works because we have been providing online education since 2002. In fact, we were one of Wisconsin's first full-time online schools. Our years of experience, proven track record in doing what's right for our students and the excellent reputation our diplomas carry is invaluable to our students-while they're here and long after they graduate.

There is no easy answer to that question. iForward can be a great alternative for families to consider, but it isn't right for everyone. We invite you to speak with iForward administrators, teachers and even former students and their families to find out more. To get started, call 1-855-4HS-GRAD and talk to a school advisor today.
