Minneapolis 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.
Minneapolis Academy educated 133 students in grades 5 through 8 during the 2015-2016 school year, plus maintained the learning year program that encompassed Saturday School.On May 24, 2016, the Academy's authorizer, Friends of Education, notified the board of directors that it will not renew the charter contract after June 30, 2016. The Academy is discontinuing operations and will no longer be serving students.
