What is VIBE?
VIBE stands for: Virtual, Innovative, Blended, Exploration
VIBE is a public, K-12 virtual learning program in Southeast Iowa.
VIBE focuses on bringing a personalized, online learning experience to students, while also offering optional in-person enrichment lessons and activities.
We serve many school districts. Our goal is to be another option to the traditional school model. There really isn’t one way to do school anymore! We like to say, we’re in-between home-school and in-person school. Teachers provide the lessons and assignments. Parents provide the support, oversight, and encouragement needed to be successful in this program.
We have two options within the program:
VIBE VIRTUAL: (Grades K-12) All virtual instruction given synchronously during Google Meetings & asynchronously through assignments on the CANVAS LMS (Learning Management System) platform.
VIBE Boost: (Grades 9-12) High School instruction done through in-person classes at Burlington High School or your home school, online through Edgenuity, &/or VIBE CANVAS classes taught virtually. This really is the “choose your own adventure” option!
What makes us different compared to other online programs?
VIBE VIRTUAL is different than other virtual programs in that it is a virtual program with optional in-person learning supports & activities. All VIBE students have opportunities for in-person activities, including music, art, and PE every other week. VIBE students in grades 9-12 also have more robust in-person options through VIBE Boost.
VIBE Boost is a hybrid option for high school students to create a combination learning experience online and in-person, tailored to your specific needs.
VIBE students may also participate with their resident school for in-person electives & extracurriculars not offered at VIBE, including band, orchestra, choir, and many Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses at their home schools.
