Insight School Schedules Information Sessions on Innovative Online Public High
School

LOS ANGELES, April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Insight School of
California-Los Angeles (ISCA-LA) has announced 21 information sessions in late
April to acquaint prospective parents and students with the online high
school's innovative programs in preparation for Fall 2008 applications.
    ISCA-LA is the premier full-time, diploma-granting, online, public high
school offered tuition-free for residents in Los Angeles, Orange, San
Bernardino, Ventura and Kern counties. It is designed for students seeking an
alternative to the traditional brick and mortar high school experience.
ISCA-LA provides a personalized, student-led, teacher-facilitated program
where students can complete their studies at their own pace with weekly
deadlines and in their own setting.
    "We offer a safe, academically rigorous, virtual education taught by
highly qualified, California credentialed teachers. Self-motivated students
who enjoy working independently flourish in our environment," said ISCA-LA
Principal Linda Rosson. "And we provide student forums, online clubs and other
activities to offer opportunities for social interaction."
    ISCA-LA students build ties with their communities as well. Activities
have included a Student Day at the L.A. Zoo, volunteering with Toys for Tots
at area Marine armories, and charity fundraising like the upcoming MS Walk at
the Rose Bowl.
    "I love ISCA-LA," said Harini Kompella, class of 2008. "I've been accepted
at several great universities including UCLA, UC Davis, UC San Diego and Cal
State Northridge. It allowed me to take more responsibility for my lifestyle,
and I was able to volunteer in my community during the day. This learning
environment has truly helped me achieve my aspirations."
    The ISCA-LA information sessions will cover the Insight Schools approach,
benefits of attending an online high school, demonstration of an online
classroom session, review of the robust Insight Schools curriculum, questions
and answers, and application materials. At selected sessions, ISCA-LA students
from the local community will share their personal experiences.
    Information sessions are scheduled in the following cities: Apple Valley,
Bakersfield, Culver City, Diamond Bar, Fullerton, Gardena, Huntington Park,
Irvine, Laguna Hills, La Mirada, Los Angeles, Ontario, Pasadena, Rancho
Cucamonga, Ridgecrest, San Bernardino, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, Torrance,
Valencia and Woodland Hills. For details, go to

    Pre-registration is not required to attend these Insight School of
California-Los Angeles information sessions. For more information on ISCA-LA,
