 Open Enrollment

Minnesota's Open Enrollment Program allows families to apply to send their child to any public school in Minnesota. Families choosing Minnetonka Schools over their home district is at an all-time high.  Minnetonka has waived the January 15 deadline and will continue to accept Open Enrollment applications on an ongoing basis, permitted space is available. A small number of classrooms or specialized programs may be closed to open enrollment due to capacity limitations; however,  the vast majority of our schools have space available.
