Award-Winning High School Courses

In May 2011, the United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) presented a 2011 International Distance Learning Award to ISHS for high school Physics in the K-12 Best Practices and Distance Learning Programming category. These prestigious International Awards are presented annually to organizations and individuals engaged in the development and delivery of distance learning programs.

The awards were created to acknowledge major accomplishments in distance learning and to highlight those distance learning instructors, programs and professionals who have achieved and demonstrated extraordinary results through the use of online, videoconferencing, satellite and blended learning delivery technologies.

ISHS has also earned nine awards from the University Professional & Continuing Education Association. The awards recognize new and innovative distance courses.
