Academies of Shakopee

Academies of Shakopee
  • In the fall of 2018, the expanded Shakopee High School opened after being nearly doubled in size. A new vision for Shakopee High School, the Academies of Shakopee, was created to ensure a welcoming, inclusive environment within a large high school setting and to improve student success in post-secondary programs and career. 
       
    The Academies of Shakopee are small learning communities of students and teachers who are organized around areas of interest. Students have the opportunity to connect with others who have similar aspirations and with teachers who can make meaningful connections to their plans for the future. Core classes and curriculum complement electives and other classes in these small learning communities. Students can take classes in various Academies and are not bound to set a path, but rather can explore their strengths and talents. Step inside the Academies of Shakopee and experience what makes Shakopee High School truly unique.  Want to know more? Click here to get in contact with us.
