Laura Jeffrey Academy (LJA)

Laura Jeffrey Academy, also known as LJA, is a tuition-free public middle school in St. Paul, MN. The Mac-Groveland neighborhood is ranked number one in the state and 47th nationally as one of the best places to live. Our inclusive learning environment is open to all students in grades 5-8 and scholars are encouraged to explore their potential, discover their brilliance and develop their intellect. They thrive through cooperative learning, STEM-focused courses and hands-on projects. We are an LGBTQ-friendly middle school and support cultural diversity and inclusion in all aspects of school life. LJA also offers a range of extracurricular activities, including sports teams, running teams, and after-school care program supports. At LJA, our interdisciplinary teaching model provides scholars with the experiences and skills that result in both academic and personal success. We celebrate our scholars’ voices and allow them choices on how they best demonstrate what they know and what they’ve learned. And, unlike other schools, LJA includes an educator-led model of leadership instead of having one principal or director. Our school is overseen by an extraordinary leadership team of teachers and staff members who guide our scholars to become critical thinkers and leaders. Our scholars graduate from LJA and are fully prepared for success in high school – and beyond.
