Description

Higher Ground Academy is a non-profit 501(c) (3) Minnesota K-12 public school located at 1381 Marshall Avenue, St. Paul. It was chartered by the state of Minnesota in 1997 and revised in 1999. The school started operating with approval of the Saint Paul Public School System and in partnership with Concordia University. After seven years of existence with the Saint Paul Public School District as sponsor, Higher Ground Academy decided to change sponsors and Concordia University is now the new sponsor.
Higher Ground Academy is a school of choice and has been in operation since September 7, 1999. The school was opened to kindergarten through 9th grade students. However, an additional grade level was added each successive year. The Academy enrolled 12th grade students in its program during the 2002-2003 school year, thus attaining the goal of K-12 enrollment by fall of 2002.
