Everyone experiences disappointment. Learning that we have to wait one more year to open has been a big reminder of this fact of life. Yet we know this obstacle we're facing is strengthening us, and helping us make our school the best it can be! Thankfully, we're surrounded by so many families, students, friends and partners who have been tremendously supportive of us as we've regrouped. We know we have GREATNESS within us, and although this disappointment has been tough to take, we are still inspired to forge ahead because of all the support we have, and the outpouring of interest people have shown in our school. After all, this endeavor has been a labor of love from the very beginning, and we believe that, in the end, love wins! |

The Studio School is the only public high school in Minneapolis combining creative, STEAM-integrated project-driven learning with academic rigor and social action. We are unique because ALL of our students: - participate in a 95-minute studio block daily each term.
- experience advanced arts instruction similar to IB (International Baccalaureate).
- create a collaborative service-learning project every year.
- learn in a joyful, creative, inclusive community with small class sizes.
- engage in rigorous, non-tracked, interdisciplinary courses.
- experience individualized, project-driven learning in every class.
- engage in professional immersion, and mentorship experiences.
- participate in college-level and dual-enrollment courses so they can achieve
their dreams and be prepared for any 2-year and 4-year college, service, apprenticeship and work opportunities they choose after graduation.
We are now enrolling 9th and 10th grade students for Fall 2020! Visit our website to learn about our school program and enrollment process, and to fill out a Phase 1 Enrollment Form. Upon receipt of your Phase 1 Enrollment Form a school representative will reach out to you with instructions for completing Phase 2 of our enrollment process. Enrolling now will not unenroll you from your current school yet, and does not jeopardize applications you submit to other schools. The Studio School is a public, tuition-free charter school open to any high school student who applies. The Studio School welcomes students from all backgrounds. Previous experience learning in our focus areas is not required because we fully support emerging creativity in a nurturing but rigorous environment. |
