Parnassus Preparatory School, located in Maple Grove, Minnesota, is a tuition-free public charter school that utilizes a classical education model. Serving students from kindergarten through high school, the school is structured into three distinct divisions—the Grammar School, the School of Logic, and the School of Rhetoric. The curriculum is rooted in the "Trivium," an approach that emphasizes foundational knowledge and language skills in the early years, critical thinking and analysis in middle school, and the development of persuasive, articulate communication in the final years.

The school is well-regarded for its rigorous academic standards and its focus on developing well-rounded, virtuous citizens. By emphasizing traditional liberal arts, a strong foundation in Latin, and a structured learning environment, Parnassus aims to prepare students for success in higher education and beyond. As a public charter, it is open to all students, though it is known for its high demand and selective-style curriculum, which prioritizes core academic subjects and the development of strong character.
