What is Wolf Creek?
(Wolf Creek
Brochure)
Wolf Creek is a tuition-free hybrid
online charter school sponsored by Chisago Lakes School
2144. Instruction is technology based and the majority
of work can be completed off campus. It is
recommended that students spend five hours per week
in our lab setting. Our school is based on a
“small community” philosophy. Students are lead
by one individual who helps them in academic, as well
as, non-academic areas of their lives. This caring
individual is called a Learning Manager and is the
center of our school model. Our small school philosophy
is shown in our student-to-teacher ratio of twenty five
students per Learning Manager. More
Frequently Asked Questions.
What is
a charter school?
Charter schools are
public schools started by parents, teachers, and/or
community members who apply for a "charter," which
defines the school's specific mission and goals, and how
these goals will be measured.
