Oklahoma Virtual High School Hosts First iConnect Day

Oklahoma Virtual High School, one of the oldest and largest online programs in Oklahoma, held its first ever iConnect event in Bricktown recently. iConnect gave more than 100 virtual high school students a chance to meet their peers and teachers face-to-face.

iConnect was designed to get the students and their parents away from the computer for a day of fun and new relationships. Students and teachers used creative, interactive games and activities to make new connections with each other.

Rockin’ Acoustic Circus, a well-known Tulsa bluegrass band was a big hit with the students. Band members are also Oklahoma Virtual High School students who crisscross the country as a warm-up band for big name blue grass bands. The virtual classes allow the band members the flexibility to accel in school at the same time they are accelling on the music stage.

iConnect was also an opportunity for parents to meet with teachers and learn more about virtual learning from the source of the teaching. Oklahoma Virtual High School is part of Oklahoma City-based Advanced Academics who partners with schools and districts throughout the nation to deliver customizable online learning solutions that include web-based curriculum, highly qualified teachers, a 24/7 support environment, and a proprietary technology platform specifically designed for middle and high school education (grades 6-12).
