The focus of Nasha Shkola — a free, choice public school, open to all MN students — is to meet the unique educational needs of Slavic immigrant students, students of Russian descent, students interested in Russian language and culture and any other student choosing to enroll.
This K-12 school (starting as K-5) will utilize the Core Knowledge Sequence as a solid foundational base for the educational curriculum and a program in Russian Language, Heritage and Culture where all students will become proficient in both Russian and English. These opportunities are both new and unique for the Russian speaking community and also a unique opportunity for non-Russian speakers. There are currently no other schools in the seven-county metropolitan with this focus.
