A Core Knowledge Charter School in Prior Lake, Minnesota, Serving the Twin Cities Southern Suburbs
Aspen Academy

Welcome to Aspen Academy

 Aspen Academy is a tuition-free, public charter school located in the Prior Lake - Savage area but open to students in any community.

We are accepting enrollments for both the current school year as well as applications for next year.  Our "open enrollment" for the 2010-2011 school year has ended.  Applications received for next year will now be processed in the order received and placed on our wait list after the lottery on Feb 24th.    See Enrollment page for details.

 Be sure to read the Director's newsletter, posted online every Friday on the "From the Director" page.

Our mission is to provide students with a well-rounded, Core Knowledge-based education which meets the intellectual, creative, and social needs of each child.

Our vision is to prepare our students for future educational opportunities and life in a global society by creating an academically rigorous, literature-rich environment where class sizes are small, and a strong sense of community is built and valued.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT ASPEN ACADEMY? We offer small class sizes that provide a sense of community. We provide a literature-rich, Core Knowledge curriculum and Singapore Math. We have an elementary Spanish program, Art, Music and Phy Ed. We hold monthly meetings for prospective parents.  Please see our calendar page for upcoming sessions.  Parents wishing to meet with the Director for enrollment information should attend an information session first as most of their questions can be answered at that time.  They will also be able to tour the school and see curriculum samples.
