TESFA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

TESFA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Twin Lakes STEM Academy school district, located in SAINT PAUL, MN with about 161 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. With about 5 teachers, TESFA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 32:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade, the school is founded on the principles of the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework.
