Onboarding

IGS Orientation Process

Approximately two weeks before the enrollment start date, each student receives access to our online orientation course. The IGS onboarding experience helps students and their families begin the transition to online learning. It was developed to be a road map with all the necessary tools to ensure that each student has a rich and positive experience. Our onboarding experience includes online courses and live information sessions hosted by our Student Services department.

During the orientation course, students and families learn about:

• Navigating through their courses and the grade book in order to maximize their learning experience
• Creating a personal schedule and time management plan based on individual needs, learning style, and extra-curricular commitments
• Getting involved in collaborative learning and social life opportunities, including extracurricular clubs and our private online social network
• Guidelines and expectations to achieve success within the flexible and supportive IGS learning environment
• How to nurture the relationship and communication with their teachers
• Where to get help and how to ask questions

Throughout enrollment and beyond, we provide resources and live online sessions to help families become familiar with our learning systems, teacher services, technology, and social life. A few of the topics we cover include:

The orientation course is offered to all newly enrolled IGS School students. Participating in this comprehensive orientation experience is an important part of each student’s transition to online learning.
