iSucceed offers all the same Advanced Opportunities as any other Idaho public school. Through the state Advanced Opportunities program, all students in all grades have access to free money to pay for college level and overload courses. All students have $4,625.00 to use towards these opportunities. Students interested in Advanced Opportunities options should contact their iSVHS Counselor for coordination.

Fast Forward Program

Overload Courses: An overload course is a high school level course that is taken in excess of the student’s regular school day. These courses are offered online, during the summertime, and before/after school. In the event that student incurs a cost for such courses, the Advanced Opportunities program can pay up to $225 for the cost of the course. Overload courses must be above and beyond the full course load offered by iSucceed, and all overload courses must be approved by the iSVHS Counselor. For most overload courses, iSucceed uses Idaho Digital Learning Academy.

Dual Credit: Dual credit are college courses taken by high school students that are transcribed on both their high school and college transcripts. The Advanced Opportunities program can pay up to $75 per credit. Dual Credit courses can be taken online, in-person at the student’s high school, or in some cases students can go directly to the college/university campus.

Exams: Students can utilize Advanced Opportunities funds to pay for a variety of college-credit bearing or career-technical exams. These include Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), or Career & Technical Education (CTE) exams.

Early Graduation Scholarship

Through the state, students can earn the Early Graduation Scholarships when graduating at least one full year early. These scholarships equate to roughly $2,400.00.

Scholarships can be used at Idaho public post-secondary institutions. The awarded amount will double for students who graduate two years early and will triple for students who graduate three years early. If a student elects not to attend a college or university immediately after high school, they will have to apply within two years of their high school graduation to utilize the scholarship before it expires.

Challenging Courses

iSucceed provides options for students to challenge courses for credit. In most cases, this means that a student would request to challenge a course by taking an exam. If the student meets the level of mastery set by the local school board for a given set of standards, the school can grant the student a high school credit without requiring the student take the course.
