Points of Distinction

We encourage our students to achieve the highest of academic standards, while discovering and developing their God given talents and gifts.

Campus Life

Students at Minnehaha enjoy the best of both worlds. Our school is small enough where you get a real sense of community, you experience small class sizes, and teachers genuinely care about, and know each student. Students forge life-long friendships with other students. At the same time, Minnehaha is big enough where students have opportunities to participate in 25 varsity sports, 20 performing groups, and 21 advanced placement courses. Minnehaha was chosen as the top school in Minnesota for the advanced placement math and science program 2007-2009. We have award-winning fine arts programs in instrumental and vocal music, yearbook and newspaper journalism, photography and world languages. Students are accepted into top-notch colleges around the nation and world. Our school is unique because faith and service-learning are vibrant and visible parts of life at Minnehaha and the biggest components in shaping student character. We encourage students to ask questions and explore ideas as they grow in their faith.
