Ruttger’s Bay Lake Resort
The School Leadership Conference is a must for all leaders in the Minndependent community. The support we gain when we know other leaders is invaluable and for me that starts with the networking opportunities provided during the conference. Mark this one on your calendar every year. Presenters know their audience and speak to the needs of the school leaders.
As a first-time attendee, it was valuable to interact with leaders I had yet to meet. Moreover, it was affirming to learn other leaders are experiencing the same challenges I am.
The time to reflect, recharge and renew connections with friends and fellow leaders is priceless!!
MINNDEPENDENT School leadership Conference is my one absolutely don’t miss conference of the year!
Thank you for the opportunity to step out of my own building for a few days to work on being a better leader. Having the opportunity to network, workshop, and problem solve with other leaders while also getting top-notch professional development is why I’ll be coming back. Thank you for the opportunity to get better.
This conference is the premier gathering of private and independent school leaders across Minnesota. Whether you are a new school leader eager to expand your network or a seasoned veteran looking for fresh new ideas, this is the place for you. Looking to recharge after the first month of school? This conference is the place for you.

“The September School Leadership Conference on Bay Lake was, hands down, my favorite professional development activity as a principal. The people, the beautiful surroundings, the pacing and variety of programming, and the timing after a busy start to a school year were exactly what I needed. It was a fun, refreshing, and relaxing way to connect and learn.”
– Jason Wenschlag, Former Upper School Principal, Minnehaha Academy – Minneapolis
