Idaho Digital Learning Academy

The Idaho Digital learning Academy (IDLA) is a US state virtual school founded (established by Legislature) in 2002. It is located in Idaho, US. There were 14,300 course enrollments in 2009-10; this represents an increase of 49% since 2008-09.

IDLA offer supplementary education to US schools, not complete diplomas. It works in partnership with Idaho school districts "to offer online choices that would not otherwise exist," especially in remote areas. IDLA is a government entity but is recognised as existing outside the state education agency. 98% of Idaho school districts have at least one student taking an IDLA course.

Despite rapid growth, public funding for IDLA was cut in Spring 2010. IDLA secured private funding and capped 2010-11 enrollments, unable to meet demand.
