IVLA Teachers

Online learning is most effective when delivered by teachers experienced in their subject matter.  All our teachers are certified in the subject or grade levels they teach.

Teacher Support

Online learning is most effective when delivered by teachers experienced in their subject matter. At IVLA our teachers are certified in the subject or grade levels they teach and are dedicated to your student’s success.

While IVLA students have the freedom to learn virtually from any location, it’s reassuring to know that IVLA’s certified Teachers are passionate about providing students with constructive feedback, individualized learning, and additional online support and tools. IVLA families and students can access their gradebook anytime online, and our Teachers provide a grade report at the end of each class.

IVLA Teachers pride themselves on getting to know their students and families so they can provide the best possible customized and flexible educational experience.
Receiving input from an experienced and well-trained “human” teacher is invaluable. At IVLA, our students submit completed coursework to trained and certified educators for grading. 
By requiring teacher-graded coursework, IVLA ensures that the learning experience will be authentic while also providing an extra layer of accountability and educational expertise.
IVLA teachers are trained to identify areas where our students need additional help. Teachers then work with the student to achieve success in these areas. 
Our teachers are well-trained in our various curriculums and courseware, which allows them to work with our families and students to identify the best lessons, activities, and/or videos to create the ideal educational experience.

Meet Our Teachers

At IVLA we not only pride ourselves on providing the best curriculum choices for our families, but we also have a fantastic staff! Our certified teachers are all experienced professionals who are highly qualified in their content areas. We are privileged to have them on our team!

I began with IVLA in 2008 after spending time in a brick and mortar classroom, and have loved it here since the very beginning. I have seen a lot of growth and change over the years, and I love that IVLA is always striving to make a positive impact on the families we serve. I started as an elementary teacher here at IVLA, and through the years have expanded my roles to include elementary success coach, elementary lead teacher, high school electives teacher, high school success coach, and most recently Director. I am so honored to be able to serve all of the families and staff here at IVLA. One of my passions is creating a community centered environment at IVLA. I have worked on growing the opportunities for students, families, and staff to collaborate and build community. We welcome you to check out what IVLA has to offer and get involved!
