AUGSBURG FAIRVIEW ACADEMY

AUGSBURG FAIRVIEW ACADEMY is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the AUGSBURG FAIRVIEW ACADEMY school district, located in MINNEAPOLIS, MN with about 83 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 9 teachers, AUGSBURG FAIRVIEW ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. 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.

AUGSBURG FAIRVIEW ACADEMY (AFA) is a unique public charter high school located in the Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis. Founded as a partnership between Augsburg University and Fairview Health Services, the school is specifically designed to provide an integrated academic and professional environment for students who have a strong interest in health sciences, medical careers, and community service. By leveraging its proximity to major healthcare institutions, AFA offers students hands-on learning experiences, mentorship opportunities, and a curriculum that emphasizes real-world application in the medical field.

The school is known for its supportive, small-school setting, which fosters strong relationships between students, teachers, and staff. AFA focuses on personalized learning paths, aiming to meet the diverse needs of students—many of whom are from underrepresented communities—while preparing them for post-secondary education and professional success. With its rigorous academic focus blended with career-readiness programming, AUGSBURG FAIRVIEW ACADEMY serves as a bridge for young people looking to enter the healthcare workforce or pursue higher education in related disciplines.
