Internet high school in Ontario sees record number of grads

An innovative First Nations-run high school in northwestern Ontario celebrated a record number of graduates on Wednesday.

Fourteen students graduated from Keewatinook Internet High School with their Ontario Secondary School diplomas.

The school was established in 1999 as an option for First Nations students in remote communities without traditional high schools. It allows people to maintain employment or be home with their families while completing classes online. Each community has a teacher/mentor on site, with specialist teachers from other communities connected to students online.
