Founded in 1976, MINNDEPENDENT is the largest membership organization serving the private and independent school sector in Minnesota. Our member schools are provided with resources, connections, education, and expertise in critical disciplines common to our schools and students. We increase the sector’s capacity through professional development, advocacy and research, STEM programming, resources, and leadership. We build relationships with donors, funders, and collaborative partners to support targeted programs. Our public voice helps inform lawmakers, policy makers, and the general public about the contributions that independent education makes to our state and society.
