Metro Open School is a small, private non-profit school located in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
The core principle at Metro Open School is to use the student's individual interests to fuel their education. The staff discovers what the student is interested in, then uses that information to tailor a program for each student that uses their own interests to propel them to learn.
Some of the Benefits
- Small classes that allow for individualized instruction and small group instruction in an interactive, supportive, personalized environment. On-going assessment of each student's strengths and needs to assist teachers, students, and parents to work together to ensure that students reach their full potential. A commitment to our students' health and fitness through activities that aid skill development, self-confidence and teamwork. An emphasis on social skills that nurture each student's self-esteem and foster kindness and respect toward others.
- An academic curriculum with emphasis on reading, writing, math, science, social studies, art, music, foreign language and physical education; weekly field trips around the Twin Cities area to museums, nature centers, concerts, plays; and an annual camping trip.
- Foundation for Learning: Teachers who believe that the foundation for learning is the caring, trusting relationship between student and teacher. We have used a Reggio Emilia like constructivist approach from the beginning of the school. An environment that nurtures curiosity and creativity, cooperation, and responsibility (students help take care of their school).
- Opportunities for parents to be fully involved in their child's education.
