Robbinsdale Shared Time Program

The **Robbinsdale Shared Time Program**, located in New Hope, Minnesota, is a specialized educational offering provided by the Robbinsdale Area Schools district. Designed to supplement the education of students who are primarily enrolled in private, parochial, or home-school settings, the program allows these students to access specific elective courses and extracurricular opportunities within the public school system. This model is intended to provide students with a broader range of academic resources—such as advanced sciences, arts, or technical education—that may not be available in their home-school environments.

By facilitating a "shared time" arrangement, the program bridges the gap between private and public education, allowing students to benefit from the facilities, technology, and specialized instruction offered by the district. The program is part of the broader Robbinsdale Area Schools’ commitment to offering flexible learning paths for the diverse student population in the community. Families interested in the program typically work directly with the district to coordinate schedules that allow students to balance their primary instruction with the specific courses they choose to take through the Shared Time Program.
