Community Passport Program

Connecting Our School & Our Community

The Community Passport Program is an excellent opportunity for students to pursue their hobbies or participate in new activities they may not otherwise be able to try. Students choose an activity in art, music, or P.E. for course credit combined with online content throughout the semester.

How It Works

Determine Eligibility

Any student enrolled as a full-time K-12 student with iCademy Global may participate in the program. A student must complete a full semester at iCademy prior to signing up for a Community Passport elective.

Select an Elective

Students needing an art, music or P.E. elective choose an activity that meets the requirements (listed below) for that elective.

Find a Course

The student and their parent/guardian find a person, company or organization that can teach a “course” on the subject. Any art, music, or P.E.-based course taught by someone with expertise in the subject matter is qualified for this program.

Request a Partnership

The person, company or organization partners with iCademy by contacting our Community Passport Coordinator.

Partner with the Organization

We add the new partner to our registry of partnerships (organized by county and elective), so other students may also choose to participate.

Receive $300 Toward Class Costs

If you choose an approved partner, or your preferred partner becomes approved, iCademy will pay up to $300 toward the cost of the class/lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign up?

C

E

First, register with your desired partner. Then, let Ms. Jody know (jody.voss@icademyglobal.org). If you don’t do both of these things, we can’t get you in the right course or pay for your elective.

When do I sign up?

C

E

Sign-up happens in May and June for the upcoming school year. If you enroll in iCademy Global outside of those times and want to participate in the CPP, you may join an existing partner. We are happy to work with you to figure out the best option!

What if my partner isn’t listed?

C

E

Contact Ms. Jody (jody.voss@icademyglobal.org) and she will do her best to create a partnership with them! Then, sign up with your partner.

Who pays for the class?

C

E

If you work with an established partner, iCademy will pay for up to $300 of the cost of lessons. You are responsible for any amount over $300. Fees for registration, supplies, equipment, recitals, or other costs are not covered by iCademy and are paid by the family directly to the partner. If your partner is NOT on the approved list, we can try to establish a partnership, however, until we finalize that partnership, you are responsible for all costs associated with the class or activity.

How many CPP electives may I take?

C

E

iCademy Global will pay for one elective per student per semester—up to $300. You may take additional CPP electives if it works with your schedule and you wish to pay for the class out of your own pocket.

Curriculum Requirements

Attend your class/lesson with your CPP partner – this counts for a BIG part of your grade.
Record your attendance on the attendance log.
Keep track of any skill practice you do at home on your attendance log. Practice is a big part of learning so be sure to include it, but BE HONEST with how much time you practice.
Submit your attendance logs on time – they are a big part of your grade!
The amount of time you spend in lessons and practicing your skill will determine how much additional coursework you will need to complete in Lincoln or FlexPoint.
Complete and turn in any additional required coursework shown in your Lincoln or FlexPoint course tile. All lessons, assessments and final projects are due at the end of the semester and can be completed at your own pace. Anything not completed will be marked as a zero.

Available Electives

Art

From digital art to traditional drawing and everything in between, students can complete their art elective by pursuing whatever artistic avenues they may have an interest in.

Music

Is your student interested in learning how to play piano, guitar, cello or another instrument? Are they interested in music production? Wherever their musical interests lie, they can earn school credit!

Physical Education

We want our students to get up and moving, whatever that means for them! From skiing to dancing to taekwondo to equestrianism, students can earn credit for their physical activities.
