View Our Course Choices Full-Class Implementation Model Many schools have partnered with IVS to enroll students in a particular IVS course due to an unexpected loss of a teacher, the current teacher shortage crisis, high demand of a summer course, or because IVS offers a course which the local school does not have available. Our Full-Class Implementation Model affords the local school a cost-savings benefit without having to staff a full-time teacher.
