Minnesota’s K-12 online public schools provide a quality and
personalized education for each student, regardless of individual
circumstances. By leveraging Stride’s resources built on decades of
online educational programming, the schools continue improving
student experiences. These schools provide a variety of programming
options reflecting the diverse student population and variety of
student goals and motivations. Programming options include full- or
part-time schooling and collaborative partnerships with
brick-and-mortar public schools and community groups. Curriculum
through the schools meets Minnesota standards.
School accommodations include rigorous career training and
pathways, credit recovery, flexible scheduling, frequent one-on-one
interactions with teachers, and a safe, accessible and inclusive
learning environment. In addition to learning, students maintain
social lives through student interaction in class, frequent
in-person field trips, school clubs, and other local
partnerships.
“We have been helping students succeed in an online environment
for decades, and teachers have the benefit of teaching resources
based on this experience,” said Stride Vice President of Minnesota
William Johnston. “This is a great option for Minnesota students
who are not thriving in the traditional setting and need an
alternative, more personalized version of public education.”
Minnesota’s three Stride-powered schools each have different
expertise. Minnesota Virtual Academy (MNVA) designs a
program for each student’s needs, including options for
college-level courses and career pathways. IQ Minnesota
(IQMN) tailors each student’s experience by making a welcoming and
safe environment a priority. Insight Minnesota assists
students to find their identity and value in the educational
journey, by helping them find their best learning style and through
a focus on social justice and inclusivity.
“Our schools provide individualized support and are inclusive of
all types of kids in the state of Minnesota,” said Minnesota
Virtual Academy Superintendent Mary Morem. “There is a place in our
schools for every Minnesota student, regardless of their previous
educational experiences. We are interested in what is best for each
student, and we partner with families to see how we can adapt our
programming to meet their student’s needs.”
