About Metro Schools Charter

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

Lighthouse Academy of Nations is a college preparatory high school in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We offer small class sizes, less than 15 to 20 students, allowing us to focus on the individual and strengthen his/her skills needed for college. School staff utilizes an extended day schedule to help bridge the educational gap and improve a student’s chance to attend the college or university of their choice. Another important factor for our success is our dedication to providing an environment that is safe and conducive to learning. The diversity in our staff provides further support to our students; we are able to help them understand the path to college and how to succeed once accepted. We also help them understand and work with the issues facing today’s youth by reaching beyond the classroom. We bring in guest speakers, visit universities, join competitions, participate in team-building activities, and encourage students to take leadership roles. These opportunities give our students the confidence to focus on their studies and develop a solid work ethic both in class and through extracurricular activities.
