At Deephaven, we believe that every child deserves a safe, supportive and inspiring learning environment. Our dedicated staff works collaboratively to ensure that each student is empowered to reach their full potential. We emphasize the development of C.A.R.E.S. skills—Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self-Control—which are woven into the fabric of our school culture. Our intentional approach to creating a sense of belonging for everyone is an important part of work.

Deephaven is a vibrant learning community. Our students benefit from world-class instruction, cutting-edge technology, and a curriculum that challenges and inspires. From our Outdoor Classroom that brings science to life, to our state-of-the-art Media Center that sparks curiosity and creativity, every space is designed to support student growth. We also offer a music model in fifth grade that provides students with whole Band, Orchestra, and Choir classes in addition to small group lessons. 

Deephaven has been named a Blue Ribbon School, a Minnesota Department of Education Reward School and earned the Readers’ Choice Award from Sun Media. These honors reflect the dedication of our staff, the support of our families and the incredible spirit of our students.

Parents are an important part of our school, and our partnership supports the success of all of our students. Our incredible PTA is an asset to our school, providing families with engagement events and fundraising opportunities. Beyond that, parents are invited to get involved in a way that sparks their interest!

Whether you are new to our school or a returning family, we are thrilled to have you as part of the Deephaven community. We invite you to explore all that we have to offer and to partner with us in making your child’s elementary years meaningful, memorable and full of joy.

Warmly,

Bryan McGinleyPrincipal, Deephaven Elementary School
