ELK RIVER DISTRICT SHARED TIME PROG

Elementary School K - 5th

School Overview

The **Elk River District Shared Time Program** is a specialized educational offering provided by the Elk River Area School District (ISD 728). Unlike a traditional, full-time comprehensive school, the "Shared Time" model is designed to provide supplemental or elective programming for students who are otherwise enrolled in private, parochial, or home-school environments.

The program allows students to access specific district resources—typically in subjects like STEM, world languages, arts, or vocational training—that may not be fully available at their primary school. By participating in this program, these students remain enrolled in their private or home-school setting while taking advantage of the specialized curriculum, facilities, and certified teaching staff provided by the Elk River district. It serves as a bridge for families seeking a hybrid educational experience that combines the values of their chosen home or private schooling with the broader academic breadth of the public school system.
