I have loved me experience at MVL. They are preparing myself and others to live a Christian life outside of highschool. The worst part about MVL is about how we're all the same. There isn't a lot of diversity considering we're all belivers in Jesus. One thing I'd change is the culture of MVL. Our culture has died down recently. There isn't a lot of positivity amongst MVL at times. But students know when they've taken it to far.

Minnesota Valley Lutheran High School is a welcoming and prestigious school that not only allowed for me to grow in my faith but also areas such as my academic pursuits in all areas of study including physics and calculus and my relationships with my teachers as well as fellow peers. Throughout my experience I was able to gain knowledge in many academic areas as the range of courses offered are many. I was also able to learn through hands on experiences in labs as well as get my questions answered right away through the smaller class size environment. Overall my experience at MVL was truly rewarding.
