How It Works

Is Online Learning Right for You?

As the parent of a Minnesota student who wants academic achievement and enrichment culminating in an accredited high school diploma, iQ Academy Minnesota (IQMN) may be the right choice for you.

IQMN is ideal for:

  • Students looking for a high-quality alternative to their current school
  • Struggling students
  • Advanced learners
  • Military families
  • Athletes and performers
  • Children who are homebound
  • Previously homeschooled students seeking an academically rigorous, accredited education

Particularly for the middle and high school years, online learning requires the ability to work independently and the discipline to stay on track. While online learning lets students set their own schedule, they must still progress at a pace that enables them to meet assignment and test deadlines and complete coursework within the semester.


In general, students who have a high probability of success in online learning:

  • Are self-motivated and exhibit maturity
  • Possess reading and writing skills at or above current grade level
  • Are willing to ask the teacher for help
  • Exhibit organizational and time management skills
  • Are comfortable using technology
  • Have realistic expectations of online learning courses
