An independent day school serving grades PK-12 | St. Paul, MN

Welcome to SPA!

OUR MISSION: Shaping the minds and the hearts of the people who will change the world. 

Too many students live, both literally and figuratively, at the back of the classroom. 
SPA is different.

St. Paul Academy and Summit School is a private, independent school located in the Macalester-Groveland neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota. Serving students from preschool through Grade 12, we believe that there is no back of the classroom. At SPA, with average class sizes of only 13 students, children of all ages learn to engage and contribute every day, in every class, because they know that their voices matter.

At SPA, students are challenged by what we believe is the best academic curriculum in Minnesota. Support is a constant, and students will come to know hard work and high standards before they graduate. The culture of support and academic rigor teaches resilience and a love of learning, creating a community where people contribute their best ideas and share their talents.
