School Overview
Minneapolis Online Learning is a specialized program within the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) district designed to provide flexible, high-quality virtual education for students in grades 6–12. Operating as a fully online environment, the school serves students who thrive outside of a traditional brick-and-mortar classroom, whether they are balancing personal commitments, pursuing extracurricular interests, or simply preferring the autonomy of a digital learning platform. The program is staffed by certified district educators who provide academic support and instruction, ensuring students receive the same rigorous curriculum and state-aligned standards as their peers in physical schools.

The school emphasizes accessibility and personalized progress, allowing students to engage with their coursework at times that best fit their individual schedules. By leveraging digital tools and synchronous/asynchronous instruction, Minneapolis Online Learning aims to foster self-discipline and independence while maintaining a connection to the broader MPS community. Graduates earn a standard Minneapolis Public Schools diploma, and the program is geared toward helping students develop the technological literacy and time-management skills necessary for future college and career success.
