The Virtual School of Minnesota, formerly the Virtual Outdoors Academy, is ready to enroll students for fall sessions, said program creator and Fergus Falls teacher Jesse Thorstad.
The school is designed for students in grades 2 through 12 looking for a less traditional educational experience, said Thorson. Students already taking classes online or being homeschooled are top candidates, though the classes are for anyone.
Students will complete the bulk of their coursework online, and the schedule will follow the regular District 544 school year.
Global Student Network will provide the core content, but Thorstad and his business partner, Dave Ellis, will give their online students something more.

Google’s online payment system, Gbuy, is expected to launch June 28, further pitting the Internet giant against industry titan and rival eBay, according to a research note released Friday by a Wall Street analyst.
Gbuy is expected to be free during the initial phase, but merchants may eventually be charged a 1.5 percent to 2 percent per-transaction fee, Jordan Rohan, an RBC Capital Markets analyst, said in his research note. A fee of that size would be slightly less than that charged by eBay’s online payment system, PayPal.
Google was not immediately available to comment.
