Online learning isn't for slackers ... Learning academy provides rigorous classes - Robert Mayer, Times-News

Eager to advance into the adult world, Affton Shouse wanted to graduate early from Wood River High School. To do so, the 17-year-old junior needed just one extra class on top of her full semester. Rather than take that class the following summer, Shouse took advantage of the Idaho Digital Learning Academy by enrolling in an economics class online. The latest wave in education, the academy simply offers online classes to any high school student with a computer. Shouse is one of nearly 100 students statewide currently taking part in the academy's pilot program this fall semester.
