Minnesota's Open Enrollment Program allows students to apply to attend a public school outside of the district in which they reside. Once accepted for enrollment, the student does not have to reapply. Transportation is provided by the parent/guardian.

Open enrollment is only for students that live outside of the city of Bloomington. If you live in Bloomington and would like to transfer schools, please refer to the intra-district transfer page.
