Arts Education + Core Academics Support
ICon Beginnings and Academics:
ICon Beginnings schedule complements online or homeschool learning options. For the 2021-22 school year, the ICon Beginnings team has been working in tandem with the ICCSD Online Program (OLP) to ensure that our program complements their core requirements. Anyone open enrolling into the ICCSD OLP must do so by March 1, 2021. Iowa City Community School District families who wish to enroll in ICCSD Online will be able to formally make this request at a later date. Junior high and high school students will be asked to indicate their enrollment selection during course registration each year. *Important note: as a full-time student in ICCSD OLP (defined as enrolled in 4 courses at the secondary level + PE), students are eligible to participate in all ICCSD extracurriculars and social school community events. Participation in Iowa Conservatory allows for a waiver of PE requirements with some additional documentation.
2021-22 Schedule:
Each 4-day Arts Program takes place in the afternoon 12:45-4:45 PM M-TH, operating as a nine-month program. The 2021-22 academic year will begin on August 30, 2021 and end on May 26, 2022.
If there is enough interest, we offer an optional 4-day Academics Lab taking place from 8AM-12:15 PM M-TH onsite for students participating in the ICCSD OLP. The lab will provide pre-service teachers to provide support for students in the areas of English, reading, math and science. Students will bring their own computer and course materials. No lunch will be provided at this time.
