Education is
Changing ..... Wolf Creek Online High
School is Leading the Way.
Can you imagine a world without change; a
world without microwaves, the
interstate highway system, or digital
cameras? What if there was no internet,
cell phones, or television? In the
article, “Getting it Right & Doing it
Better,” Bryan Townsend stated,
"Reasonable people understand all change
is not progress. However, we must concede,
all progress is change." He goes on to say
that change is a two step process.
Progress comes from those who are
determined to do their thing and they are
insistent about getting it right. Then
these determined people insist on finding
ways to do it better. Those who are
constantly and consistently looking for
ways to improve are the ones who bring us
progress and innovation.
Wolf Creek Online High School works in
much the same manner. Wolf Creek has had
many areas of change and progress. Wolf
Creek opened in 1996 as one of the first
distance learning schools in Minnesota as
a school with-in a school at Chisago Lakes
School district. Wolf Creek was part of a
three year study with University of
Minnesota to see if students could learn
online. The conclusion of the study was
"yes, students can learn online!" From
that point this distance learning school
has blossomed. In 2002 Wolf Creek received
its charter school designation
and has been growing, gaining ground, and
bringing progress and change to students
ever since.
Today Wolf Creek Online High School's
campus is located at 10363 Liberty Lane in
Chisago City, MN. This small tuition-free
public online charter school is busy
educating approximately 125 fulltime
students in grades 9-12, up to age 21,
across the state. Another set of
approximately 25 students are enrolled
part-time using supplemental services and
the online learning law. These students
can take up to 50% of their classes at
Wolf Creek while remaining enrolled in
their traditional brick and mortar
district.
Wolf Creek Online High School’s curriculum
is available 24/7 online, and students
have the option to work on campus each
week. The school is based on a "small
community" philosophy; students are
assisted by one individual who helps them
in academic as well as non-academic areas
of their lives. This individual is called
a Learning Manager and is the center of
the school's model. Each Learning Manager
works with about 25 students both on and
off campus daily. Wolf Creek enrolls a
variety of students; these students range
from those who are excelling to graduate
early to those who are working hard to get
caught up. Students like the change to
online learning due to the flexibility and
ease of accessibility. Wolf Creek is a
great option for students who are
independent and self-motivated.
Kalli Frost is one of those independent
and self-motivated students; she is a
junior and has been enrolled at Wolf Creek
Online for the past two years. Kalli says
that her Learning Manager, Lindsay
Jarombek, is fantastic and she helps her
with everything, not just coursework. She
is
there to talk about academics, college,
and future plans anytime. Kalli says a
typical day for her involves getting up at
about 8 am and working online in her
pajamas or getting ready to come to campus
to work. She likes the option of working
at home several days per week. She enjoys
the comfort of working in her own home, as
well as being able to have whatever food,
music, and work time she desires. She has
her mom available at home for assistance
if needed and her Learning Manager is
always a text, email, chat-room, or phone
call away. She comes to campus
weekly to meet with her Learning Manager,
to get help with classes, and talk about
future plans. She also attends campus to
meet with other students and work in the
computer labs on specific assignments.
Kalli says her favorite thing about Wolf
Creek is "the flexibility and the
ability to be on her own schedule. She is
able to move ahead in courses if she wants
to do that."
The staff at Wolf Creek Online High School
is dedicated to progress and innovation.
Wolf Creek is accredited by NCA, CITA, and
NCAA. Instruction is innovative and
technology based, and the course work can
be completed on or off campus. Wolf Creek
has Continuous Learning Year status from
the Minnesota Department of Education;
therefore, students are able to complete
course work throughout the year;
applications for summer school are
currently being accepted. If you are
interested in learning more about Wolf
Creek, please visit their website at

Tuesdays at 10 am.

considering her college options for Fall
2010.” Meghann has a very bright future!

Term 2. She did well in all of her
classes, despite having a higher than

every week and applies herself to her
coursework while on campus. She completes

in her classes,
doing
particularly well in her Young Parenting
course.
Amber also self-advocates and participates
in Wolf Creek events. Lindsay Jarombek,
Amber’s Learning Manager, comments, “She
is showing great promise to do well the
rest of the 09-10 year, and I am very
proud of her dedication.” Amber truly is
a great Wolf Creek student.
