We are excited to offer our May start date to families wishing to enroll their students to secure their spot for SY 26/27 and to get a head start on orienting to IDVA. Here is what the student experience will look like for those enrolling to start with IDVA on May 11, 2026.
- Students will be assigned to complete orientation, the final step of enrollment, from May 4th to May 6th.
- Students who finish orientation and who are approved to start on May 11, 2026, will have 10 days of school with IDVA as the 25/26 school year concludes on May 22, 2026. Students will be experiencing an introductory schedule designed especially for this short period of time. During these two weeks before summer break, students will be completing strong start sessions and/or a strong start course, completing testing, and working on Math and ELA skills in our supplemental program, IXL.
Due to the late start date, new middle school students will not have the opportunity to earn or recover middle school credit. Under Idaho’s Middle Level Credit System and IDVA Policy, to promote to the next grade level, middle school students must earn a minimum of 75% of credits and may not lose a full year of credit in any course. Students in the 8th grade must pass math 8 to be permitted into high school per Idaho graduation requirements. IDVA will use SY 25/26 school records to determine grade level promotion for SY 26/27.
