We offer school bus or van community stops (in public parking lots) in the suburbs and attempt to get within one city block of residents in Minneapolis. Routes do change based on interest and are subject to change year to year. We have several transportation options that

How to Register
Transportation registration must be completed for all students, regardless of whether or not they will be using busing this year. You may register for transportation once you are enrolled at Minnehaha Academy.
Please note that your selection is not binding; your transportation method can be changed at a later date. If unsure, select the method your child will most likely be using. Refunds will be issued in accordance with our
Transportation Refund Policy for any cancellations made after August 1.
Registration Deadline
Busing requests must be received by May 1, 2025 to be considered in determining initial routes for 2025-2026. Failure to sign up for transportation by May 1 may result in your student not being added to a route and transportation being unavailable.
If you would like to be added to the transportation route after the start of the school year, then please contact our Director of Transportation at transportation@minnehahaacademy.net or (612) 728-7788.
