Those interested in home study can meet in the school’s cafeteria beginning at 4 p.m.
Representatives will be answering questions and showing the school to the community, with several SCVi families providing personal opinions about the school. Most of the campus will be open, and guided tours will be offered.
“During the past 10 years, the (teachers) and staff at SCVi have worked tirelessly to create a learning environment that values critical, creative thought and meets each student exactly where they are in their educational journey,” said Amber Raskin, co-founder of iLEAD Schools.
Raskin said her and fellow co-founder Dawn Evenson are still looking to see the program grow.
“Dawn and I are so proud of iLEAD’s success over the past decade,” she said. “And we invite prospective students, their families and our community to learn more about what sets us apart.”

This school is amazing. Having worked there and having had a daughter graduate in 2016 I have had a close and personal relationship with SCVi. My daughter was well prepared for college, and once called to tell us that she was so glad she attended SCVi because her ability to be self-motivated and be a team worker was so much better developed than a lot of kids who did a more traditional school for high school. She is now in film school at Dodge at Chapman and those two qualities are paramount to success. My son graduated AOC and both received the benefits of a small, personal school, although I would say that SCVi offered more for an ultra-creative student in the way of opportunities to use creative thought in fulfilling assignments. The staff was excellent and the relationships very personal; they cared deeply about each learner.
