DISTRICT 287 ACADEMY

District 287 Academy is a public school that is part of the Intermediate School District 287 school district, located in PLYMOUTH, MN.

District 287 Academy, located in Plymouth, Minnesota, is a specialized educational facility operated by Intermediate District 287. This district is unique because it serves as a collaborative partnership between 11 suburban school districts in the west metro area of the Twin Cities, specifically designed to support students with complex social, emotional, and academic needs that are often difficult to manage within a traditional neighborhood school setting.

The Academy focuses on providing intensive, personalized instruction in a therapeutic environment. By utilizing smaller class sizes and a high ratio of support staff—including specialized educators, mental health professionals, and behavioral specialists—the school works to remove barriers to learning. Their programming emphasizes social-emotional skill development, trauma-informed practices, and transition planning, all aimed at helping students stabilize their education, build resilience, and eventually return to their home districts or successfully transition into post-secondary life.
