Enrollment and Attendance FAQs
Who is eligible to attend Insight School of Oregon–Painted Hills (ISOR-PH)?
Any student in grades 7–12 who resides in Oregon is eligible for full-time enrollment.
What does it cost to attend ISOR-PH?
ISOR-PH is a public school program, so there is no tuition. We provide Oregon-licensed teachers and instructional materials. Eligible families receive a loaner computer and printer. Students and families will be responsible for providing some common household materials (such as printer ink and paper). Our enrollment consultants can help address your technological and computer questions and needs.

Because ISOR-PH provides the lesson plans and materials needed for grades 7–12, many parents find it easy to enroll multiple children in the program.
What is the attendance policy?
As Oregon public school students, all ISOR-PH students must comply with the state-required minimum number of 180 instructional days.
Can our family take a vacation during the school year?
The school calendar includes school holidays or vacation time. Whenever possible, family vacations should align with school vacation days. Parents are encouraged to contact their student’s teacher if they plan a vacation that does not coordinate with the school calendar.
