South Campus Education Center

South Campus is a specialized educational facility operated by Northeast Metro 916, an intermediate school district serving multiple member districts in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, the campus is specifically designed to provide high-quality special education programming for students with unique learning, emotional, or behavioral needs. The school prioritizes a supportive, therapeutic environment where students can receive individualized attention, specialized instruction, and clinical support that may not be available in a traditional general education classroom setting.

The school is part of a larger collaborative network that focuses on preparing students for successful transitions into post-secondary life, employment, or a return to their home school districts. By integrating academic curriculum with social-emotional learning and life-skills development, South Campus aims to empower its diverse student body to overcome barriers to learning. The program is heavily focused on creating small, manageable learning communities, allowing staff to build strong, individualized relationships with students while fostering a culture of academic growth and personal stability.
