Why Hennepin Schools?

Rooted in close, nurturing relationships, our students grow to their full potential in a school with a strong sense of community and high expectations. We know that all students can and MUST achieve, and we are relentlessly committed to giving them everything to get there. In setting high expectations, we must likewise meet children's efforts with the support that will help them to strive, stretch, and grow. Hennepin Schools are united by the urgency of our calling to unwaveringly pursue academic achievement for every child in our care.

Strong to the Core

Learning is engaging and alive in our classrooms. HS provides a targeted, transformational educational experience through a strong focus on academic basics and individual attention - ensuring every child reaches or exceeds their milestones. Students have unique needs and require attention on a personal level. Our scholars are prepared for today, tomorrow, and all the days to come. 

Holistic Development

When students enjoy different activities at school and are in a caring, empowering environment, they grow to believe that all the doors in life are open to them. We know that a holistic education provides children with the experiences they’ll need to find themselves, take hold of opportunities, and change their communities. The future is wide open for HS scholars.
