Cologne schools, located within the Waconia Public School District 110, may not be the biggest in the area, but they are known for being one of the best quality districts.
Here’s an overview of the schools. Boundaries can change, so always confirm assigned schools for a specific address with the district.
Here’s an honest look, whether you’re selling or buying.
Schools serving Cologne
The entire district received the “Green Ribbon School” award from the U.S. Department of Education in 2014. The district services students who reside in Cologne, Waconia, Minnetrista, St. Bonifacius, and New Germany. The district’s smaller size allows the staff to focus on students as individuals and meet their academic, emotional, artistic, health, and athletic needs. The district contains two elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and a learning center.
Located in the nearby city of Waconia, the Waconia Learning Center provides quality educational programming to students that are qualified. It offers a unique way of learning and is perfect for students that do not learn the way most of their peers may. The program works with the student’s parents in order to target the best way for the student to learn, and ultimately, succeed.
Southview elementary seeks to provide an environment where three goals are met, which are “learn”, “respect”, and “belong.” Southview understands that their main focus is to provide the best education possible. Along with this, they strive to produce well-rounded students that are more than ready for life’s challenges after they move on.
More about the schools
Located within the city itself is Cologne Academy, which enrolls students in kindergarten through 8th grade. This school won the Reader’s Choice “Best Public School” award in 2014. The middle school’s mission is to prepare students for academic success through excellence in literacy by integrating the Core Knowledge Sequence.
The main high school in the district is Waconia High School. The high school offers both Advanced Placement, as well as several preparatory courses. Each student graduate is well-equipped for their postsecondary aspirations. The school offers 20 different sports programs through the spring, winter, and fall seasons, as well as an array of arts and leadership clubs.
Perhaps one of the most well-known schools in the area is Crown College in the city of St. Bonifacius, which is just 15 minutes north. This college is an accredited Private post-secondary institution that has existed for almost a century. The college has over 215-acres of beautiful rolling hills and grassland. Although small, the college instills a close and tight-knit community of students, all pursuing an education that will better their futures.
