Rest assured that accreditation from Cognia is a valuable mark of distinction, based on rigorous, research-based standards, and evidence-based criteria. Our whole school—from our policies to learning conditions and cultural context—works together to meet the needs of every learner. Accreditation ensures that colleges, employers, and the military will recognize your teen’s diploma. Accreditation also helps facilitate the transfer of credit to universities and other schools worldwide.

Students earn credits that meet state graduation requirements, ensuring that the diploma they earn is recognized nationwide for the workforce, college, or the military—whatever their next step may be.

How are online lessons delivered—live sessions, pre-recorded videos, or a mix?

While attending an online school in Arizona, high school students participate in a blend of learning formats. This hybrid model provides flexibility while maintaining essential structure and accountability:

  • Live Classes: For real-time engagement, instruction, and feedback
  • Pre-Recorded Lessons: To review content at their own pace
  • Self-Paced Work: To build time-management and critical-thinking skills

What is my role as a parent in supporting my child’s online learning?

By high school, students are largely self-directed. The Learning Coach —whether a parent, guardian, or another trusted adult—plays a background role: checking in on progress, helping with time management, and offering encouragement when needed. Insight Academy of Arizona supports students directly through teacher interactions, academic advisors, and college/career prep tools.

Students receive full access to K12 curriculum at no cost, and eligible families may also receive a loaner computer and an internet stipend to help defray costs.
