While most teens her age were seated behind a desk one recent Tuesday morning, Audree Marcis was finishing up the morning chores on her family’s dairy farm. Shortly before 10 a.m., she logged on to her computer for geometry class, then online lessons in world history and Gothic literature. While she lives a couple hundred miles away from Grantsburg, Audree is one of about 680 students throughout Wisconsin enrolled in the Grantsburg School District’s virtual charter school, iForward. Homeschooled from first through fifth grade, she’s been an iForward student since sixth grade and now is a sophomore. While it can be challenging at times, Audree said she enjoys the freedom virtual schooling provides.
