What is TRIO Wolf Creek?
 

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” school 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.
