Not happy about my child's first day. No one showed my son where to go for Parent pick up so he…read morewent looking for me where I dropped off that morning. He has an IEP for a traumatic brain injury, and he was new to that school from homeschool. He was just supposed to know where to go I guess. Glad my sister was in the car she looked up and saw him across the street from the school. The principal tried to get upset an check me on how I was talking to her, I didn't curse I just snapped my fingers at her and told her for the 3rd time to call transportation to verify that he didn'tget on a bus. The principal is useless during an emergency. Thanks to the staff that took action and moved fast while she did nothing helpful.

This school is horrible!! My Name Is Sunny, I'm A Student Who Went Here, On the 3rd day of school I…read morewas getting on my bus (f) as usual, and kids were swearing and acting up I wasn't though, but I started to secretly record with my school iPad, at first the bus driver went to the school and a few kids got kicked off. surprised to hear my name. I said "yes?" The assistant principal kicked me off the bus, my mom does not have a car so couldn't pick me up, but he said, "i do not care!" i was still recording at this point and got the whole thing on tape. After Two failed attempts the third time I managed to sneak back on the bus, but then kids started acting up and swearing again but this time the driver did not go back to the school, the driver got drunk!! and she crashed the bus (thankfully everyone was ok, no one got hurt) but then the driver left and it was a 95 degree day so, there i was trapped on a bus with a class who hates me, at one point, a kid saw i was recording and threw my iPad! i went to pick it up and suddenly kids jumped me, and turned out the driver didn't leave she was passed out from drugs in the driver's seat! so she was no help at all! another kid nearly pushed my head thru the window and 3 kids almost got heat stroke. thankfully a black man came and knocked down the emergency door. Everyone was safe, I thought it was over, but it wasn't. A Girl sprayed hair spray in my eye. at that point i was crying, my mom saw me and i told her everything that had happened my mom screamed at the bus driver. and then we went home, i got suspended for 3 days (why? I don't know, i did nothing wrong) The day i get back to school, i put the things in my locker i didn't need, my mom had come with me to school that day i had a problem with my locker and my mom wanted to help but the teachers said oh no we can help her with that you aren't allowed to be here during school hours! so my mom was forced to leave, i had everything i needed but couldn't carry it all with my hands so i put it in my backpack a teacher said i wasn't allowed to bring my backpack to class.. i just simply said calmly " sorry but everything i need i can't carry with just my arms" and with that, i skipped off to class, the teachers then came in my class and had a fight with me about it, they said i was disturbing the class? excuse me?! i am being a responsible student and going to class, u came in here and argued with me? uh i think Ur the one disturbing the class lol! so mainly they kept asking and i kept ofc refusing to. then they called my mom, and she was on my side. then i lightly pushed a chair in the teacher and she said that's it Ur going home! so i put my backpack away but still they chased me and sent me home, I'm in 6th grade but please! don't let Ur child go here!! i don't want them to go thru what i did.

Minnehaha Academy is a traditional college preparatory school that offers pre-K to grade 12…read moreeducation. MA has two beautiful campuses on the bluffs of the Mississippi River with spacious grounds, with about 12 acres each. MA, like many east coast prep schools, was founded by Protestants from Europe. Opening in 1913, the school is affiliated with the Covenant Church (a historic branch the Lutheran Church that is now a separate denomination). MA has a strong commitment to faith with weekly chapel services and taking a traditional approach to teaching religion by having specific religious classes and bringing the topic of religion into other classes as well. This is done with other subjects as well, since many of the humanities and sciences overlap--for example you could have a discussion in history class about science or literature; in this way the student is able to understand the whole story from multiple angles and gain a deeper understanding of the world. The schools commitment to academics is extraordinary, boasting one of the best AP programs in the state, and if the class doesn't have an AP test then the school offers alternatives such as the College in the Schools program where students take a class from the University of Minnesota from one of their teachers and earn college credit. The school has also partnered with various scientific institutions to send a project to the International Space Station each year, joining only two other high schools in the nation that have this honor. The language department is also very excellent offering French, Latin, Spanish and Chinese; all of which start out at high school levels (open to middle school students) and go through college levels. The teachers are highly educated and care very deeply about the students and for many, remain mentors throughout their time at the Academy and their future. Most of the teachers hold masters or doctorate degrees in their area of study. The community of students is kind and caring for each other, and many long lasting friendships are formed. The school also has excellent food and offers breakfast and lunch. MA has a head and sous chef who create healthy and delicious meals and snacks for the students. Breakfast generally has cereal, scones, sandwiches, eggs, pancakes, bacon, et cetera. Lunch offers a salad bar, made to order options, homemade soups and various options including fresh carved pork, turkey, pastas and chicken. The chefs are friendly and take student suggestions seriously and work hard to make the best food possible. The school is also very devoted to the arts and has a entire fine arts center that includes a woodshop, dark room, art room, pottery studio, band room, orchestra room, private practice rooms, art gallery, scene shop, costume shop, concert hall/theater. The school features several performance ensembles including a Concert Band, Symphonic Wind Ensemble, String Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, Men's Choir, Women's Chorale, Concert Choir and Madrigal singers. Each ensemble has earned top marks at state. The Symphonic Wind Ensemble and Concert Choir go on tour, alternating year to year. The tour locations have included: Prague, Slovakia, Salzburg, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Washington D.C., Chicago among other locations. In the year the ensembles are on break from the tour, they put on variety shows: the bands perform the pops concert and the choirs perform a medieval dinner. The school puts on three plays: musical, play and student run show; each has one various state and sometimes national awards. The school also has top notch athletic facilities including separate soccer and football fields, a full size ice arena, two full size gyms, wrestling room and a weight room. MA's athletic teams have won a combined 4 state championships in the past decade alone and provide very supportive C, JV, and Varsity teams. The school also has many organizations and academic teams. The Debate team, which I captained during my time is one of the state's best, being the only school to have a pair of debaters go to the varsity finals back to back (my partner and I), bringing home a state championship and a 2nd place trophy. The school also offers clubs centering around the environment, music, literature, journalism and writing. The school newspaper and yearbook have won various national awards for journalism, photography, layout, overall achievement, etc. MA really helps students achieve and builds a strong foundation for college through curriculum, advanced academics, supportive staff, and graduation requirements that are similar to most colleges. Many of the students attend private 4 year institutions including St. Olaf, Carlton, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Boston College, Vanderbilt, University of Chicago, Northwestern and more. Minnehaha Academy has nurtured the minds of some of Minnesota's best students. MA goes farther than the other prep schools in Minnesota: it truly is the place where youth meet truth.

From the owner: The original incorporation from 1905 stated: "The purpose of this institution shall be to furnish…read moreyoung men and women with the essential elements of a liberal education, and to foster the development of character under the personal influence of Christian teachers." On Monday, Sept. 15, 1913, Minnehaha Academy welcomed its first class of high school students. Grades 7 and 8 were added in 1972. In 1981, the land for the South Campus was purchased and a chapel was erected. By 1982, the Lower School served students in Grades 1 through 5. Kindergarten was added in 1985 and preschool in 1995. Students graduate from Minnehaha Academy prepared to excel in any number of fields. Some of our alumni include inventors, a Supreme Court Justice, Authors, War Veterans, an Olympian, Musicians, and many others in notable careers.
