FACE TO FACE ACADEMY

FACE TO FACE ACADEMY is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the FACE TO FACE ACADEMY school district, located in SAINT PAUL, MN with about 79 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 6 teachers, FACE TO FACE ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

FACE TO FACE ACADEMY, located on Arcade Street in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is a unique public charter school specifically designed to serve students who may have struggled in traditional high school settings. The academy focuses on providing a personalized, supportive, and flexible learning environment for young people, often targeting those who are credit-deficient, have experienced homelessness, or have faced significant life challenges. By maintaining small class sizes and a trauma-informed approach, the school aims to create a safe "community-first" atmosphere where students can regain their academic footing and work toward a high school diploma.

Beyond academics, the academy is well-regarded for its holistic approach to student well-being. It integrates essential support services—such as counseling, advocacy, and connections to basic needs resources—directly into the school day. This model recognizes that a student's ability to learn is deeply linked to their physical and emotional stability. By fostering strong relationships between students and staff, FACE TO FACE ACADEMY empowers its attendees to overcome barriers, build self-advocacy skills, and prepare for success in post-secondary education or the workforce.
