Insight School Schedules Information Sessions on Innovative Online Public High School

LOS ANGELES, April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Insight School of California-Los Angeles (ISCA-LA) has announced 21 information sessions in late April to acquaint prospective parents and students with the online high school's innovative programs in preparation for Fall 2008 applications.

ISCA-LA is the premier full-time, diploma-granting, online, public high school offered tuition-free for residents in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Ventura and Kern counties. It is designed for students seeking an alternative to the traditional brick and mortar high school experience. ISCA-LA provides a personalized, student-led, teacher-facilitated program where students can complete their studies at their own pace with weekly deadlines and in their own setting.

"We offer a safe, academically rigorous, virtual education taught by highly qualified, California credentialed teachers. Self-motivated students who enjoy working independently flourish in our environment," said ISCA-LA Principal Linda Rosson. "And we provide student forums, online clubs and other activities to offer opportunities for social interaction."

ISCA-LA students build ties with their communities as well. Activities have included a Student Day at the L.A. Zoo, volunteering with Toys for Tots at area Marine armories, and charity fundraising like the upcoming MS Walk at the Rose Bowl.

"I love ISCA-LA," said Harini Kompella, class of 2008. "I've been accepted at several great universities including UCLA, UC Davis, UC San Diego and Cal State Northridge. It allowed me to take more responsibility for my lifestyle, and I was able to volunteer in my community during the day. This learning environment has truly helped me achieve my aspirations."

The ISCA-LA information sessions will cover the Insight Schools approach, benefits of attending an online high school, demonstration of an online classroom session, review of the robust Insight Schools curriculum, questions and answers, and application materials. At selected sessions, ISCA-LA students from the local community will share their personal experiences.

Information sessions are scheduled in the following cities: Apple Valley, Bakersfield, Culver City, Diamond Bar, Fullerton, Gardena, Huntington Park, Irvine, Laguna Hills, La Mirada, Los Angeles, Ontario, Pasadena, Rancho Cucamonga, Ridgecrest, San Bernardino, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance, Valencia and Woodland Hills.
