School History
Minnesota Preparatory Academy is a multicultural National Preparatory High School created to address the opportunity gaps by not only developing innovative programs for young men & women of color in underserved communities in Minnesota and across the country but also by bringing together hands on, grassroots programs based in education, athletics, trades, and the arts.
These interventions focus on building core life and leadership skills through the use of education, athletics, trades, and the arts.
All children have the talent and ability to be successful. Young men & women of color have a unique set of life experiences that is not being tapped. Setting higher expectations for our young men & women of color is critical to building stronger viable inner-city communities. Creating an environment of mutual respect and understanding amongst all students, families, faculty, and staff.
At Minnesota Preparatory Academy, we believe that all young men and women can embrace who they are, define their future, and make a positive impact on the world.
