BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn., March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Insight School of Minnesota (ISMN), an accredited, tuition-free online public school for Minnesota students statewide in grades 6 through 12, will open enrollment on Monday, March 16, 2015, for families who wish to enroll for the 2015-2016 school year. ISMN is an education option focused on helping students who are struggling academically. With a unique and highly supportive approach, ISMN works with students and their families to help them overcome obstacles, including learning or behavioral issues, bullying, or a lack of effective alternatives.

To help parents and students learn more about the program, ISMN will participate in a Discovery Day event in St. Paul on Saturday, March 14, 2015, where families can meet teachers, experience the curriculum and enjoy free admission to the Science Museum of Minnesota. Interested families are encouraged to visit the school's website for details on the Discovery Day event, online information sessions and how to enroll.

ISMN offers students an individualized education tailored to each student's specific needs. Multiple versions of courses are available in middle school, and they are even more varied in high school to help assure that each student is taught at the right level.

"Insight School of Minnesota specializes in providing individualized learning for each student, as well as providing social and emotional support," said John Huber, Head of School at Insight School of Minnesota. "While we accept students of all ability levels in grades 6-12, our school has special strengths in helping students who are struggling – for various reasons – in their education."

To inspire students to work hard and succeed, ISMN combines engaging web-based lessons, live online learning sessions and support from experienced teachers and counselors. The online curriculum is bolstered by a Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program, as well as a Family Support Team to help students achieve success both academically and personally.

ISMN teachers provide instruction, guidance and support, and regularly interact with students and parents via email, web-based classrooms, online discussions and phone. Teachers also organize field trips and school activities to give students the opportunity to participate in events that help bring the school community together.
