Laura Jeffrey Academy

“Teachers at LJA open their hearts and minds to inspiring kids to learn. I was pushed and encouraged to be my best self."

Laura Jeffrey Academy (LJA), is a Twin Cities tuition-free charter middle school offering a unique STEM-focused, gender-inclusive educational experience, grades 5 - 8. Students learn through rigorous study, by asking questions, solving problems, and participating in the community. LJA's interdisciplinary learning and teaching model provides students with the experiences and skills that result in academic and personal success - students who are critical thinkers and leaders.

Our promise is to provide an educational environment where students are free – to explore their potential, develop their intellect, and discover their brilliance.
