COMMUNITY PASSPORT INFORMATION FOR FALL

Community Passport Program sign-up is here!

Community Passport Program is an elective option for students to choose an Art, Music or PE course in their community and combine that with an online course for the semester. The majority of learning happens in students’ communities in lessons with the partner combined with some online reflections, time and attendance logs, and a final project making up the remainder of the course. If you choose to work with one of our current partners, we will pay up to $300 towards the class/lessons (sign-up fees, uniforms, recital fees, etc are not included). If you want to partner with someone not on our list, we will do our best to create a partnership, so we can help cover the cost.

So exciting! I’m interested! Now what?

  1. Check out the current list of partners to see all the cool things you can do through a CP elective.
    1. Use the direct links to see their specific classes, lessons, policies, availability and costs
    2. Keep in mind some partners require a full year (2 semester) commitment
    3. Don’t see a partner on the list that you would like to work with? No problem! Please enroll in their course and give us their contact info in the application linked below and we will do our best to work out a partnership with them. Please note that it is still possible to earn credit through a CP class without a partnership, iCademy will just not be able to contribute $300 towards the lessons.
  2. Connect with the partner of interest to sign up or hold your spot for the fall. Don’t wait, their classes fill quickly! Make sure they know your student is participating as a student at iCademy Global.
  3. Fill out the application so we can enroll your student in the correct course in Lincoln (6-12) or FlexPoint (K-5).
    1. You may sign up for one or both semesters. Your partner doesn’t need to be the same each semester if you want to change it up.
    2. NEW this year: All sign-ups for both first AND second semester are due by June 20, 2023
