Insight School of Minnesota Ready to Help Students Navigate These Uncertain Times in Education

Insight School of Minnesota (ISMN), a full-time, tuition-free public-school program of the Brooklyn Center Community School District, is ready to kick off the new school year and give students throughout the state a consistent education option designed to help them reach their full potential. Insight MN students and teachers will open their laptops to start the 2021-2022 school year tomorrow, September 9, 2021.

For most families, the new school year comes with cautious optimism. Many families realized during the pandemic that attending school online is a safe alternative that allows them to focus on their child’s future. According to a recent survey by Stride, Inc., 91 percent of parents agree that it’s important for their children to have multiple school options, including full-time online or a hybrid model that blends online and in-person learning. And almost two-thirds of parents would consider full-time online public school after their 2020 pandemic-driven virtual education experience.

“Despite such uncertainty, given the pandemic, we are prepared to offer our students the full ISMN experience,” said ISMN Head of School John Huber. “We’ve seen our students succeed in some of the most unprecedented times, and I am confident that we can reach even greater heights in the new school year.”

Authorized by the Brooklyn Center Community School District and staffed by Minnesota-licensed teachers, Insight MN offers a personalized approach to learning, delivering rich, engaging curriculum designed to assist students who seek alternative pathways to education. Despite wide-spread evidence of a “COVID slide” of learning loss for students in the U.S. during the pandemic, Stride K12-powered schools like ISMN reported lower learning loss rates than those reported in national studies. And in some cases, students enrolled in Stride K12-powered schools experienced learning gains.

Students choose online learning for a variety of reasons, including advanced learning, a bullying-free environment and the flexibility to support extracurricular pursuits or medical needs while maintaining a focus on academics. Insight MN’s online platform gives students the opportunity to pursue their academic goals in a supportive environment and at an appropriate pace for their learning style. Additionally, full-time high school students have the ability to make up courses through the school’s credit recovery program.

Insight School of Minnesota is still accepting enrollments for the 2021-2022 school year.
