Spokeswoman Pat Laystrom says Indiana Connections Academy Virtual Pilot School will serve about 280 students from around
the state.
Students receive personalized learning plans but do their work from home. A certified teacher will work with them in live,
online classrooms and by phone.
The school also will offer extracurricular activities and electives, including online chess clubs, a student newspaper and
science clubs.
The program is free and is financed with state education money.
Indiana's first virtual charter was Hoosier Academies, a combination virtual and bricks and mortar school that opened
in 2008-09.
