Member School Values
Four common values unite the diverse member-owners of the Minnesota Independent School Forum.
Independence
MISF members hold their right to create the school environment as a central value. Schools want to choose their curriculum, culture, teaching methods and mode of operation. They also believe that a good education requires a good match between school and student. Financial self-sufficiency is key for schools to maintain their autonomy.
Whole Student Development
MISF schools see that students have a third dimension beyond academics and co-curricular activities, which faculty and staff seek to develop. Whether viewed through the lens of spirituality or character development, MISF member schools provide values-based education for a total student experience.
High Quality Education
MISF schools offer a high level of preparation for high school students, striving for both student and program excellence. MISF and its members are committed to giving students from various economic, racial and ethnic backgrounds a means to achievement through scholarships and a supportive community.
Association
The members of MISF come together to engage in a common fundraising campaign for scholarships, as well as joint programming, networking, and knowledge sharing. Members explore causes they hold in common and make their united voices heard in the policy arena through MISF.

Math and Science Education
Math and science academic outcomes are important indicators of higher education and workforce success. Students who take rigorous math and science courses need less remediation in college.

"I recently took advantage of the opportunity to attend the Development Director's meeting at Austin Pacelli School offered by MISF. I traveled two hours from Sleepy Eye, and it was worth every minute. What a wonderful meeting with an excellent exchange of information that served very worthwhile. I look forward to the next meeting. Keep up the great work! "
