About us

St. Cloud Social Justice Academy Welcomes You! SCSJA is a tuition-free, public K-8 charter school located in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

Our mission:

Our mission is to nurture students’ innate curiosity and love of learning through democratic practice, emergent curriculum, and hands-on projects, helping students become life-long problem solvers and socially aware, responsible and engaged citizens.

Our vision:

Our vision is to promote social and environmental awareness, skill building and kindness to prepare all learners to be leaders and citizens of their community and our world.

SCSJA is an innovative and progressive school that is opening in the fall of 2023. The school was inspired by the dreams of its founders and friends. The dream is to provide an opportunity for students to learn in an academically rigorous environment that incorporates a focus on social justice and environmental learning. We understand that our children learn in unique ways and have created a school that acknowledges the interests and skills of each learner. We are excited to help our students discover their capabilities and passions!

The school serves the greater St. Cloud area. The school is a public charter school. There is no fee to attend. SCSJA is authorized by Osprey Wilds and works with the Minnesota Department of Education to ensure student progress and growth.
