iAcademy, the specialized academic institution owned and operated by the STI Group, is now offering a more individualized learning approach where students have the freedom to choose which subjects to take and decide when they wish to take them. According to iAcademy president and CEO Vanessa Tanco, “The new program that falls under the Senior High School Department is called DRIVE or Design for Remote, Individualized Versatile Education. It is iAcademy’s response to cater to students with unique learning styles and preferences, the offspring of learnings and insights gained from the shift to online learning. At iAcademy, we continue to innovate and find ways to provide game-changing approach that enables our students to achieve their fullest potential all while maintaining and being in their best element."
DRIVE is the best alternative for students who are challenged in regular, structured, predefined classes. It is for those who may be busy pursuing other things and those who cannot log in or attend online or onsite classes but would like to finish their schooling at the right time. DRIVE is completely asynchronous but offers 30 hours of optional consultation should the student or parents want to have sessions with the teachers and session coaches. DRIVE is for those who want to access iAcademy education without worrying about location later on because DRIVE will be continuously offered completely online.
With DRIVE, students will be able to go through the modules and examinations at their own pace throughout the academic year, allowing them more flexibility. However, though individualized, students still have the option to reach out to their subject teachers and success coaches for a maximum of 30 hours a year per consultation or mentorship sessions. iAcademy's DRIVE aims to produce game changers through catering to those who prefer a more individualized form of education.
Founded in 2002, iAcademy's specialized programs in computing business and literal arts and design were developed to address the mismatch between graduates of educational institutions and the actual needs of the industry. The school currently has nine senior high school and 15 specialized undergraduate college degree programs all geared up towards preparing students for a highly competitive professional world.
