658 E. State Street
Jacksonville, Illinois 62650
- The Illinois School for the Visually
Impaired (ISVI) was founded in 1848 and is located on an 18-acre campus in
Jacksonville, approximately 35 miles west of Springfield.
- The mission of ISVI is to serve as a
statewide educational resource, offering students with visual impairments
quality services which will enable them to become personally productive,
self-sufficient citizens.
- ISVI is accredited by the North Central
Association and is in compliance with state and federal policies which are
monitored by the Illinois State Board of Education.
- Students must have the primary disability
of Blind or Visual Impairment for admission.
- ISVI offers a comprehensive curriculum
that emphasizes independence and vocational skills, instruction in Braille,
daily living skills, orientation and mobility training, assistive
technology, adaptive physical education, home economics, and industrial
arts.
- ISVI offers a transitional living program
that teaches students how to live independently. Students learn money
management, meal planning and preparation, housekeeping, decision making,
and accessing community resources.
- Class size is normally limited to a
student-faculty ratio of 7 to 1.
- Students may participate in mainstreamed
education classes at local public schools.
- ISVI offers a broad array of social and
recreational activities to all students through the residential living
programs during evenings and weekends.
- Extracurricular activities include track,
cheerleading, swimming, wrestling, goalball, choir and forensics.
- Direct and consultative services provided
for parents of children ages birth-to-3 with vision loss.
- Employment opportunities are available
for students in both on- and off-campus settings.
- Educational services are provided at no
cost to parents. Personal belongings, health care, and spending money are
the responsibility of parents. Schools are responsible for transportation
costs for home-going breaks and one-on-one aides, if necessary.
