School Overview

Tonka Online is a virtual learning program operated by the Minnetonka Public School District in Minnesota. Designed to offer students flexibility, the program provides a comprehensive catalog of online courses that mirror the district’s high academic standards. It serves as an alternative to traditional classroom instruction, allowing students to complete coursework asynchronously while still having access to the resources, extracurricular activities, and support systems of the broader Minnetonka school community.

The program is structured to support a diverse range of learners, including those looking to accelerate their graduation timeline, students seeking to resolve scheduling conflicts, and those who simply thrive in a digital learning environment. Because it is an extension of the Minnetonka district, the curriculum is taught by certified district instructors, ensuring that students receive the same rigorous college-preparatory experience found in the district’s physical schools.
