Due to high demand for the Independent Study (IS) academy this year, Visions is offering an online summer school program for new IS students. This program is designed for new students who are behind in credits and may not be on track to graduate at the end of their senior year.

High school students may only take core classes they have previously failed (English, Social Studies, or Science).

Summer School FAQs

What is the purpose of this program?
This program is specifically designed for new students who are deficient/behind in credits. Who may not be able to graduate at the end of their senior year without earning additional credits in the summer. This program is geared towards setting new students up for success who plan on continuing with Visions into the 23/24 school year as opposed to returning to their school of residence.
