Homeschool students residing in the state of Tennessee are required by law to participate in a nationally recognized standardized assessment. We are obligated to comply with state regulations in order to maintain our accreditation with WASC and Cognia.  

To support our Tennessee families and ensure compliance, Bridgeway Academy will be administering the Iowa E-Online Assessment to all enrolled students living in Tennessee. 

The assessment will be conducted online on April 22 and April 23, 2026 at 1pm EST/ 12pm CST.

Please note that participation in this testing is not optional for Tennessee students. Please click here for more information. 

You will receive session codes and student ID#'s for test login via email one week before the testing week. All tests have been purchased by Bridgeway Academy.  

Note that students in grades K-2 (levels 5-8) of the IOWA and all CogAT grade levels require a headset or speakers for audio-led testing. 
Please check your email for session codes/updated session codes a week before your scheduled test.
