Insight School of Indiana (ISIN), an online public school serving students in grades 7-12 throughout the state for the last 4 years, will cap off their school year by celebrating the Class of 2020 in an online commencement ceremony on Thursday, June 4 at 5:00 pm.

ISIN is inviting all families and friends worldwide to join the celebration.

This year, ISIN will graduate almost 150 students, many of whom have been enrolled at ISIN their entire high school career. 8 students will graduate with a cumulative GPA above 3.5 and nearly $900,000 worth of college scholarships have been awarded.

Collectively, the school reports having students that have been accepted to colleges and universities across Indiana and beyond, including Purdue, IUPUI, Ivy Tech, Indiana Wesleyan, Kentucky State, and Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

“It’s been a very challenging year for Indiana students, and we are thankful our students have had the opportunity to maintain a sense of normalcy with their schooling,” said ISIN Head of School Dr. Janice Silver. “Our graduates have worked so hard, and while we know an online ceremony isn’t our norm, we are excited for the opportunity to celebrate with them at their well-deserved graduation.”

Meagan Bowyer is the Valedictorian and plans to attend Purdue University in the fall. Patrick Lewis is the Salutatorian and is attending Vincennes University Technology Center. These students, as well as Dr. Silver, will be available for media interviews.

Students enroll in virtual school for a number of reasons, including those looking for a safer learning environment free from bullying, those looking to get back on track academically, or those looking for an alternative to the traditional brick-and-mortar classroom setting. ISIN students access a robust online curriculum in the core subjects and a host of electives and attend live virtual classes every day taught by state-certified teachers. Graduates earn a high school diploma, and those who come to ISIN behind on credits can participate in the school’s credit recovery program.

Details of the graduation ceremony are as follows:
