School Overview

Menlo Park Academy Extended, located in the Northeast neighborhood of Minneapolis, is a specialized educational program that operates under the umbrella of the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS). It is specifically designed as a therapeutic and academic support setting for students who require a more individualized approach to learning. The program focuses on providing a structured, highly supportive environment for students who may struggle in traditional classroom settings due to emotional, behavioral, or complex learning needs.

The academy emphasizes a small-group instructional model, allowing for increased one-on-one attention from teachers and support staff. By integrating social-emotional learning with core academic curricula, the school aims to help students stabilize their behaviors, build essential life skills, and eventually transition back to their home schools or move toward graduation. Its location on 2nd Street NE serves as a hub for students across the district who benefit from a calm, high-structure atmosphere tailored to foster both academic success and personal growth.
