IVSA

Membership

Membership is a standard, not a subscription

IVSA members are virtual schools that have passed verification, agreed to a code of conduct, and committed to operating with the transparency families deserve. The badge means something because the floor is real.

What members get

A verified profile is just the beginning

The verified seal

Display the IVSA badge on your profile and in search. The badge is gold across every tier — its weight does not depend on what you pay.

Lead routing

Qualified parent inquiries are routed to your inbox. Allotments scale with your tier; you never pay per lead twice.

Group rates

Discounts on LMS, proctoring, and payment processing through partners we negotiate with on behalf of members.

Embassy & agent channel

Distribution to consulates and licensed education agents in target markets, included with Alliance and above.

Quarterly benchmarking

Anonymized peer data on enrollment, conversion, and retention so you can spot what's working across the alliance.

Annual Summit

One ticket included with Alliance, five with Strategic. The room where decisions about the category get made.

Code of conduct

What every member agrees to

Every IVSA member signs and renews this code annually. It is the floor for everything else we offer.

  1. 01

    Honest representation

    We market our programs, accreditation, and outcomes truthfully. No inflated claims, no fabricated reviews.

  2. 02

    Pricing transparency

    Tuition, fees, and required materials are disclosed before a family is asked to commit.

  3. 03

    Student safeguarding

    We protect student data and follow age-appropriate child-safety policies in every jurisdiction we serve.

  4. 04

    Responsive operations

    Inquiries are answered within five business days. Complaints are addressed in writing.

  5. 05

    Independent verification

    We submit to the IVSA review process and accept that the badge can be revoked if standards lapse.

  6. 06

    No diploma-mill behavior

    We do not sell credentials without instruction. We do not list credit hours we did not deliver.

Community

A network of peers, not competitors

Virtual schools run into the same operational problems regardless of geography: enrollment, accreditation, instructor retention, parent communication, AI policies. The IVSA member community shares solutions in private working groups and at the Annual Summit.

Strategic-tier members co-author position papers and shape the standards as they evolve.
