My daughter has been attending ILA for 2 years. She initially attended public school, but we were dealing with her being bullied. She started to regress academically and developed anxiety. After seeing a therapist, we decided to pull her mid-year. We were able to enroll her immediately at ILA. The whole process went smoothly and was completed in a couple days. Every teacher my daughter has had has been wonderful. You can tell these teachers actually LOVE their job and are invested in the growth of their students. My daughter has had straight A's since we switched. The curriculum is well above the public school standards where I live. I love that the students can explore their interests with electives, or through the different clubs. My daughter recently discovered she loves Minecraft, after joining the club lol. There are online field trips and social events regularly. Because of the schedule flexibility, we have been able to travel a lot more. We appreciate ILA and all their staff!!
Ignite Learning Academy has been such a blessing to our family! Our daughter attends the SPARK self-contained gifted program. We love how the curriculum is student-paced, and to a certain extent- student led. Each semester our daughter can pick a "passion-project"- and she absolutely loves being able to focus on her special interests! Every educator is committed to each child's success. It is truly an individualized experience. We initially had our concerns about being in a fully online environment- but the social engagement has blown our expectations away! We highly recommend Ignite Learning Academy!
Ignite Learning Academy is the best school and uses the best curriculum I have ever been apart of. Over the years I've tried many different ways of doing school, from public to private to online to homeschooling, nothing stuck, until ILA. It is a private online school, so you get the highest quality education with the best teachers. There are many different classes you can take, something for everyone. They are very accommodating and work with you to make sure you get the education you need. I found my passion of literature and many others that i wouldn't have been able to grow this much in them without my amazing teachers. I truly wish i could go back in my education career and take all of my high school education through ILA.
This is my daughter's second year at Ignite and we can't imagine being anywhere else. The administration and staff actually care about the academic and social progress of the students. They are always available to answer any questions from parents or students. We even had an instance where we didn't have an issue, but administration contacted us with a more advanced curriculum opportunity that has made a world of difference in our daughter's interest in math. The clubs and activities (in person and virtual) help in keeping remote learning students engaged with their peers. We as parents couldn't be more pleased with Ignite, and more importantly, our daughter is happy and has really progressed since joining Ignite.
As a student who goes here I love Ignite Learning Academy it is the best online private school and I would not go to any other online private school ever they have lots of clubs to choose from and I can always get help if I need it has quick and easy learning assignments and I love all my teachers and live classes I love the field trips and all the different places we go so yes my school is recommended to everyone!
I like how the teachers reach out to you and care, getting help is simple and the courses are easy to follow.
This is a very good school I love it there the reason I gave it 4 stars is because one of the teachers I got this year wasn't the best but overall very good experience I will be using them up until I graduate.
We love the community here at ILA! Our kids attend clubs, class parties, and have found true friends that they talk to all the time both in and out of class. The academics are outstanding and everything is customized for my children.
Great leadership who listens to parents and genuinely cares. The school provides unique individualized attention for students in a way I’ve never seen before. My daughter is completely thriving and blowing us away in their Spark program.
Each teacher brings to the classroom such a wealth of knowledge. The class sizes are small and the teachers are able to get to know each student.
The staff and administration have been nothing but helpful for our family. We have 2 students that attend each with some type of a learning difference and the school has been able to work with our kids to allow them to be successful.
There are a variety of electives for middle schoolers and high schoolers to take each semester and we love how we get to be partners in our children’s education.
ILA has numerous clubs and our children have been able to find ones that have sparked their individual interests.
Thank you Ignite Learning Academy!!!

Ignite Learning Academy is a school full of teachers and administrative personnel that care about the success of the students. Communication is top notch with everyone from the teachers to the director herself. Teachers check in frequently to ensure the needs of the students are being met. As a parent, I love that the curriculum is tailored to the needs of my children. They are allowed to explore their interests without limit, and take extra time in areas where it is needed. Although an online school, Ignite Learning Academy ensures that social needs are met by offering live classes that encourage group discussion and participation. There are also a myriad of clubs that students can join just for fun. Initially, my children were not fond of the idea of virtual school. They thought they would miss their friends and the feel of live classroom instruction. After a semester at Ignite, they are looking forward to returning next year!
This school is great! The teachers are fantastic. My daughter can go at her own pace, getting the help she needs from the teachers during their office hours. My daughter has not only learned the subjects taught but time management, study skills, and how to be a better leader. We can’t wait for next fall for another year at Ignite.
My son loves Ignite Learning Academy! If your child isn't understanding the material, the teacher is always there to help your child one on one. The clubs are amazing, too!
We started with Ignite (ILA) during the 2020/2021 school year due to all of the uncertainty of Covid and how schools would be operating. Because we had also suddenly become an all remote family, we decided to travel. Choosing ILA would let us meet our son's education needs and also give us the flexibility to travel and live elsewhere for a few months. ILA has been doing remote learning for 10 years or more, and when we interviewed them we felt confident our son would receive an exceptional education regardless of the Covid crisis. ILA met and exceeded our hopes. Our son grew more this past year than in any other school year. Even though his public school is attempting to move back to normal, we have chosen to stay with ILA for the 2021/2022 school year.
Excellent excellent option for families needing an online option. Ample personal attention. Lots of group interactions in classes and clubs.
Personalized education with teachers and staff that truly care about your students!! Amazing school!!
My two children attend here and are in the gifted program. After being bored in their traditional schools, coming to Ignite where they were allowed to move at their own pace, explore interests, participate in project-based learning, and work alongside other students who were doing the same, we have finally realized what education can truly be.
The teachers and administration are supportive, caring, and always willing to help. This has been an exceptional school year!

We came to ILA during the Fall of 2020 after becoming dissatisfied with quality of education at our state sponsored online school. We interviewed a couple of online private schools and after hearing my phone conversation with Dr. Van Sande, my son asked me to please choose ILA, because he could tell how passionate Kelly was about the school she was building. We were placed in the gifted class with Dr. Maynard. Brandi put so much love, thought and nurturing into her work, we felt like she became a beloved member of our family. ILA is an accredited online private school with regular standardized testing, which allows you to know how well your child is performing, compared to their peers nationwide. This was a huge selling point for me. Curriculum and online classwork presentation is very clear and easy to navigate. I recommend this school to anyone looking for a quality online curriculum and amazing passionate teachers and staff.
After searching for perfect virtual school option for my third and fifth grader I came across Ignite Learning Academy and couldn’t be more thankful. I am excited for a great 2021-2022 school year!
My child with special needs is thriving. He receives great assistance from his special education teacher and all teachers are happy to implement his accommodations and work with us to make sure he is successful. We love Ignite!
