Anishinabe Academy

Anishinabe Academy- "We need your help; you can make a difference."

Anishinabe Academy has been enriching the lives of our students, their families, and our community through dedication to the principles of our seven grandfather teachings: Truth, Respect, Honesty, Love, Wisdom, Humility and Courage.

As a Native Urban American school, our values are fundamental to the foundation of all our programs, ensuring every child learns to value our seven teachings, self and others.

Our Mission Statement:

We exist to engage urban Indigenous students by integrating and reclaiming Native American identities, cultures and languages through authentic academic experiences.

Our Vision Statement:

Educating and empowering through cultural revitalization.

We provide a safe, positive, learning environment that encourages the scholastic achievement of our students, as well as the development of their culture and social lives.

At Anishinabe Academy, we strive to develop the whole person. So when our students get promoted, they will possess the confidence, compassion and character to make their future and ours the best it can be.

In order to maintain and keep going it takes a lot and as many of you know or have heard school budgets have been cut. Well as this may affect all schools this affects our school dramatically. A monetary donation of simply $5 dollars could make a difference in helping keep our school engaged with our students, native families and community.

Any help is welcomed and appreciated. If you have any questions about how you can help you can contact Cece Benimon (family liaison) @ cecelia.benimon@mpls.k12.mn.us or 612-668-0880
