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

Community Phase Kickoff!

Building futures Phase II: 
The campaign for the upper school

St. Paul Academy and Summit School’s students, faculty, and alumni/ae are among the most exceptional in the country. The school’s innovative curriculum and its culture of engagement and intellectual curiosity require a physical plant that fully supports the extraordinary teaching and learning that happens every day at SPA.

Over the last three years, we have been building and renovating our Upper School to fit our current and future needs. A number of SPA families have already stepped forward to support this effort. We have seen great success so far, and now we need our entire SPA community to band together and help us finish the fundraising for this transformational campaign. 

We have raised 85% of the funds needed to complete this project. We can’t get to the finish line without you. Help us build the future and make your gift today
