About STEP Academy

STEP Academy is a K–12 public charter school based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with a second campus in Burnsville. The school emphasizes STEM education, college and career readiness, and individualized supports such as ELL services and small class sizes to serve students who are underserved by traditional schools. In recent years STEP Academy has expanded services and maintained measurable college-preparatory outcomes: it opened a second site in Burnsville in fall 2022, reports strong Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) participation among upper grades, and publishes annual audited reports and school performance information demonstrating academic growth and supports for English learners and students from low-income backgrounds.

Network expansion — second campus (2022)

STEP opened a second campus in Burnsville in fall 2022 to increase capacity and extend its K–12 college-preparatory STEM program to additional communities.
