Saint Paul Public Schools is a national leader in public education. Each of our schools offers students a world of opportunities. Elementary Schools are neighborhood schools that serve students from specific areas and magnet and citywide schools that serve students from across the city. Middle Schools and Junior High Schools offer a variety of world-class educational programs for students. Senior High Schools allow students to reap the benefits of "big-city" partnerships, while experiencing personalized education through small learning communities. Area Learning Centers/Alternative Learning Programs provide an array of programs and services for students who desire a non-traditional learning environment. Valley Branch Environmental Learning Center provides elementary students a meaningful outdoor learning experience that extends learning beyond the classroom.
