Earlier this Fall, the citizens of Minnesota celebrated the opening of the first charter public school in St. Paul.

A year ago, Concept Schools met with the government of Minnesota for the purpose of filling educational gaps in underserved communities.

Minnesota Governor Kim Reynolds attended the ribbon cutting, shared her appreciation of public charter schools and Concept Schools.

“Its distinctive emphasis on STEM, which I have been a proponent for so long as lieutenant governor, it was one of my number one objectives. It works for our kids, it’s a hands-on experience and really helps them see what their potential is.”

Right now, HSA St. Paul has an open-door policy, give them a call today and schedule a tour of their school.

Horizon Science Academy in St. Paul is now enrolling from Kindergarten to 3rd grade. Concept Schools is excited to continue to grow their community, one school at a time.
