There are additional ways to earn High School credits:
Mastery (Testing out of classes or Portfolio Review)
Dual Enrollment with another public High School (Please contact your local school to verify their District/school policies)
Taking Classes directly from an accredited College/University
The only class listed above that can also be listed on your schedule with IHLA and count toward full-time status with us is if a student takes a course directly from an accredited College/University. Please read through each of those options below to learn more.
Mastery
Mastery
Students have the opportunity to demonstrate mastery over content material through a portfolio process. Credit can be earned by submitting AP, SAT, ACT or CLEP test scores. Pass/Fail credit only is awarded for these options.
Students may also submit a portfolio for credit approval. Once a student has signed up, they will be sent the rubric that will be used to assess their portfolio. Students will have the opportunity to present their portfolio to a panel of teachers and administrators. Portfolios may receive a letter grade.
Course Direct From College
Course Direct From College
Students have the opportunity to take classes directly from college of their choice, and receive both the college credit and high school credit from IHLA for those classes. These classes can count toward a student's full time schedule with IHLA, as long as the proper evidence of college course registration is submitted and transcripts are submitted at the end of each class. It is the responsibility of the student and parent to submit a college transcript to IHLA at the end of each semester showing the final grade earned as well as the number of college credits the course awarded. An "I" for Incomplete will be awarded as the final high school semester grade until a transcript is submitted to Idaho Home Learning Academy. College transcripts reflecting final grades for courses taken directly through colleges must be sent to IHLAtranscripts@malad.us in order for college credits that are not associated with IDLA to be considered for high school credit acceptance. It is the responsibility of the parent and student to make sure all college classes being taken have been approved for credit by IHLA. Classes will be transcribed as high school elective credits unless a syllabus for the class is provided to IHLA and the course is preapproved to meet specific high school graduation requirements. It is the responsibility of the student and parent to register for college classes as IHLA does not facilitate college registration for high school students. If you unenroll in this class, it is your responsibility to communicate this to IHLA and arrange to start another class so the correct number of credits can be earned keeping in pace with the credits required for graduation.
A three (3) credit college course that is one semester in length, awards 2 high school credits. It is the responsibility of the student and parent to make sure all graduation requirements are being met for whichever institution the student intends to graduate from .https://forms.gle/2eafJkPt8CSC5FvG7

Enrollment in Two Public High Schools
Enrollment in Two Public High Schools
IHLA is an accredited charter school, and as such follows the State Dual Enrollment policies.
Dual enrollment is allowed in these circumstances:
Between IHLA and homeschooling
Between IHLA and private school
Between IHLA and another school within Oneida School District
IHLA allows students to dual enroll between IHLA and another Charter School, but the other school may have policies in place that do not allow dual enrollment between two charter schools. Students who would like to enroll between two public schools need to reach out to Trixy Lind at trixy.lind@malad.us
Credits from other schools will be reviewed and credits from homeschooling and private schools might not transfer, depending on accreditation of original credits. Please reach out to ihlahighschool@malad.us with any questions.
