MNSAA Annual Conference 

Annually, over 250 nonpublic school administrators, serving thousands of Preschool through Grade 12 students from across Minnesota come together for MNSAA’s Annual Conference. Attendees can anticipate reflecting on school improvement and engaging in professional development opportunities.  School leaders and master teachers will focus on best educational practices. Again in 2021, we are offering a reduced rate for schools who bring a team of 10 or more.
