About New Century School

New Century School (NCS) is a Preschool–12 public STEM charter school based in the Midway area of Saint Paul, Minnesota. The school uses an inquiry-based, multidisciplinary STEM curriculum with computational thinking, engineering and robotics, small class sizes and native-language support to serve multilingual students. In recent years NCS has expanded its operations (opening a Compass Academy campus in Bloomington), substantially grown enrollment, and continued oversight and performance monitoring through its authorizer. The school emphasizes data-driven teacher development and college-and-career readiness alongside extended-day and blended-learning programs.
