iAcademy offers flexible senior high school program

MANILA, Philippines — iAcademy, the specialized academic institution of the STI Group, will now offer a more individualized learning approach where students have the freedom which subjects to take and when they wish to take them.

“The new program that falls under the Senior High School Department is called DRIVE or Design for Remote, Individualized Versatile Education.  It is iAcademy’s response to cater to students with unique learning styles and preferences, the offspring of learnings and insights gained from the shift to online learning,” said Vanessa Tanco, iAcademy president and CEO.

“At iAcademy, we continue to innovate and find ways to provide game-changing approach that enables our students to achieve their fullest potential all while maintaining and being in their best element,” she said.

DRIVE is the best alternative for students who are challenged in regular, structured, predefined classes. It is for those who may be very busy pursuing other things; for those who cannot log in or attend online/onsite classes but would still like to finish schooling at the right time. DRIVE is completely asynchronous but offers 30 hours of optional consultation should the student or parents want to have sessions with the teachers and success coaches. DRIVE is for those who want access to iAcademy education without the worry of location later on because DRIVE will be continuously offered completely online.

With DRIVE, students will be able to go through the modules and examinations at their own pace throughout the academic year, allowing for more flexibility. Though individualized, however, the students still have the option to reach out to their subject teachers and success coaches for a maximum of 30 hours per year of consultation or mentorship sessions.

DRIVE is iAcademy’s newest initiative to produce game-changers through catering to those who prefer a more individualized form of education.

Founded in 2002, iAcademy’s specialized programs in computing business and liberal arts, and design were developed to address the mismatch between graduates of academic institutions and the actual needs of the industry.

Ther school now has a total of nine senior high school programs, and 15 specialized undergraduate degree programs, which are all geared towards preparing students for a highly competitive professional world.
