President’s Message

Welcome to Minnehaha Academy - one of the finest Preschool through Grade 12 Christian schools in the nation. Our mission is to provide high quality education integrating Christian faith and learning. We believe that as students mature in the Christian faith, they grow in their ability to rightly apply knowledge.

As you navigate our website, we will show and describe to you our exciting programs for Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools – the whole person education that makes Minnehaha a place where young people discover and develop their gifts and talents.

At Minnehaha we invest in the lives of our students by promoting excellence and challenging them to put God at the center of their lives, and to accept the responsibility of serving others. At every age, they interact with gifted, caring teachers who mentor, as well as teach.

We think a Christian school should offer the highest level of academic challenge. One tangible way of measuring the rigor of our curriculum is by high scores of our students’ ACT, SAT, and Advanced Placement exams.

Friendships formed at Minnehaha are life long, and our graduates are not only prepared for college, but also to lead productive lives as whole and effective Christians. We hope that what you see here will lead you to visit our campuses to gain a sense of our family environment and our enthusiasm for quality education.

Thanks for your interest in Minnehaha Academy. And, once again, welcome!

Sincerely,
Dr. John B. Engstrom, President of Minnehaha Academy
