FERGUS FALLS, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- iQ Academy Minnesota (iQMN), an accredited, full and part-time online public school program of Independent School District No. 544 (Fergus Falls) serving K-12 students statewide, will celebrate the Class of 2021 with both in-person and virtual commencement ceremonies on Friday, June 4, 2021.
“I’m beyond impressed by how strong-willed and tough-minded our students have been throughout this unprecedented year,” said iQMN Head of School Theresa Gallagher. “All of their hard work has led to this moment and I’m thrilled to be able to celebrate all that this group has achieved. Congrats to the Class of 2021!”
This year, iQMN will graduate 43 students. Graduating seniors have been accepted to trade schools, colleges and universities across the country.
Prior to the pandemic, students enrolled in virtual school for a number of reasons—some were looking to escape bullying, some may have fallen academically off track, and others were looking for an alternative to the traditional classroom setting.
iQMN students access a robust online curriculum in the core subjects and a host of electives and attend live virtual classes taught by state-certified teachers.
Details of the graduation ceremony are as follows:
