About Loring Nicollet Alternative School

Loring Nicollet Alternative School is a fully accredited high school for students in grades 9-12 who want something different than a large, traditional public high school. Only fifty-five students are enrolled at Loring Nicollet at one time, and the average class size is 12-18 students.

Loring Nicollet has the same core curriculum (English, Science, Math, Social Studies, and Electives), credit requirements and graduation requirements as the Minneapolis Public School System. Students who graduate from Loring Nicollet receive a diploma from their home school in the Minneapolis system (e.g. North or Washburn) as well as participate in our own Alternative School graduation celebration. There is no tuition charge for students who attend Loring Nicollet.
