It’s a new school year at ICA! It’s also time to announce exciting new options: an online, Bible-based curriculum called Ignitia and an online student information system called Genius.
For grades 3-12, Ignitia offers the same great course options as our Switched-On Online curriculum and has all the great online features you love in SOO including 24/7 access, Christian content, and engaging lessons filled to the brim with multimedia elements like videos and games. So don’t worry. Ignitia has all that SOO offers; only it’s better with a more streamlined format for students and teachers, along with stronger behind-the-scenes software programming.
In the fall of 2011 and on, new students who select ICA’s online curriculum will be enrolled using Ignitia. Current students who started schoolwork in Switched-On Online should keep their eyes peeled for updates on switching to Ignitia. To ensure the school year runs smoothly for all students, ICA will be sending SOO students an announcement email and providing orientation before switching students to Ignitia.
By fall of 2012, ICA plans to have all online students enrolled in the Ignitia curriculum, while phasing out Switched-On Online.
Ignitia courses include
Bible (grades 3-12)
History and Geography (grades 3-12)
Language Arts (grades 3-12)
Math (grades 3-12)
Science (grades 3-12)
Various Electives (grades 3-12)
Ignitia offers a new interface, streamlined features, and improved customization that will help ICA teachers make your student’s learning even better.
In addition to Ignitia, ICA is implementing a new online student information system called Genius. This system will help ICA teachers improve communication, address individual learning, and easily set personalized pacing. Plus, parents and students can log in to Genius anytime and see student progress, communicate with teachers, and more! When parents and students create an account with Genius, they’ll receive an email with a username and password and a link to access Genius and enjoy all its great benefits.
