COVID-19 Information
MITY prioritizes the health and safety of its students and staff and has therefore made the decision to move all of its 2020-2021 school year programming to an online format. We have also expanded our school year programming to include classes for 1st – 12th grade students. These classes use the same inquiry-based, hands on model as our in-person programs and provide motivated students with meaningful learning challenges as well as a way to connect with like-minded peers. Details of these programs can be found under “Online Programs.”
Summer 2021
EYM: MITY will have one online session (June 7 – 18) and two in-person sessions (July 12 – 23 and July 26 – August 6). We are unable to host residential students in 2021 due to the pandemic. Applications will be available by early February.
ExplorSchool: Details for next year’s summer program will be announced by early February. While we hope to be able to be back together in-person, we are not yet able to make a determination due to the fluid nature of the current pandemic. Please continue to check the website for updates.
About Us
Making a Difference
For over 50 years, MITY has attracted bright students in grades one through twelve from throughout the Twin Cities and around the world, inviting them to embrace their intellectual curiosity in a stimulating environment. Our mission is to offer a dynamic educational experience in which talented students explore their passions and are challenged to grow on an academic, creative, and personal level.
MITY offers unique STEM, Humanities, and Fine Arts courses in three exciting academic programs, each taught by master teachers. Students dig into new topics, stretch their thinking, develop non-cognitive skills, and meet a diverse group of people who share their love of learning. MITY’s safe, inclusive climate fosters a feeling of family among students and staff, empowering participants to be themselves and shine in new ways.

A MITY Fine Attitude
A MITY Perfect Combination of Academic Challenge and Fun!
MITY offers much more than rigorous curriculum – its educational philosophy is to develop students not only academically, but physically and socially as well. Students enjoy fun recreational activities that foster friendships, build teamwork and generate opportunities for peer support and leadership development. Students are free to embrace their true selves, take risks, and experience the true joy of being a part of the MITY family.
