Activity Or MissionMinneapolis Academy is the first independent college preparatory middle school in Minneapolis, providing children from all walks of life and of all abilities with an educational opportunity that is generally not available to most lower-income and working class families. Founded by educators and community leaders in 2004, the Academy's primary mission is to provide all of its students with the knowledge, skills and character to graduate from High School, and the confidence to continue on and successfully complete their post-secondary education. The Academy will accomplish this through a college preparatory educational program based on high expectations, rigorous academic performance, more time on task, and a safe and orderly environment driven by high standards of personal conduct and respect for others.ActivityOrMissionDesc
