Sports & Extracurricular Activities
How do students socialize in an online high school?
Insight students are more than just classmates. They’re athletes, artists, volunteers, friends, and so much more. So even though Insight is an online school, it’s important that we offer field trips, dances (even a prom), and a graduation ceremony among many other in-person activities. It’s all in support of an authentic high school experience that both teaches and socializes.
The courses that students take provide many chances to interact with other students through discussion threads and ‘virtual classrooms’ where students are together at the same time communicating through two-way voice over IP, instant messaging, and application sharing.
Students have told us that they build great relationships with other students through the community-building opportunities we provide.
What about athletics and other extracurricular activities like band and drama?
Insight School of Kansas doesn’t yet offer high school athletics as part of its program. We’ll facilitate a student’s participation at the student’s local school as Kansas law and district policy allow. Insight School of Kansas students can participate in other activities like Band, Drama, etc. at their home district only if that district allows them to do so, and there cannot be course credit earned at Insight for these activities. In order for a student to be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities, the student must be enrolled in a minimum of one class in the KSHSAA member school where they desire eligibility, and a minimum of 5 classes at Insight School of Kansas. The local district retains the authority to approve dual enrollment agreements with Insight School of Kansas.
Will school dances be held? A graduation ceremony?
Yes, there will be dances and a graduation ceremony. Periodically, Insight School of Kansas will hold field trips and events in different geographic locations throughout the Kansas.
