The Minnetonka Indian Education Program serves American Indian students by supporting their academic careers and fostering an appreciation of their history and culture.

The mission of the Minnetonka Public Schools American Indian education is to help students acquire the knowledge, strategies, attitudes and skills that will lead to them to realize their goals and potential.
