For Some Indiana Students, Virtual School Options Provide Greater Flexibility, Autonomy
Sep 4, 2024

For Indiana Public Media, Adam Hawf, Senior Vice President of Stride, highlights how virtual school options like Indiana Gateway Digital Academy (INGDA) provide students with increased flexibility and autonomy. These programs help students customize their schedules around personal needs like mental health or extracurricular activities. Raelynn Devries, a first grader at INGDA, benefits from this flexibility by following a structured, self-paced routine at home with her mother’s guidance. While virtual schools offer a unique learning experience, there remains a focus on ensuring students stay engaged and connected.
