Independence Charter Academy is Helendale School District's premier independent study charter school: a tuition-free, WASC-accredited public online school open to California families in San Bernardino County and the counties around it. Its motto says it best, graduate your way.

Learning at ICA is personalized and flexible. The online platform is available throughout the school day, so students can complete coursework when it fits their lives, while teachers stay closely involved through a college-preparatory graduation plan and support for students with IEPs and 504 plans. Every enrolled student receives a Chromebook and case, and internet hotspots are available in select circumstances, so that access is never a barrier.

That personal attention shows in the results. ICA works closely with every student, and its students graduate at a 100% rate, prepared to step into college, the military, or the workforce as responsible, capable citizens. For families who need flexibility without sacrificing rigor, ICA is a place to learn, grow, and graduate on their own terms.
