SOUTHSIDE FAMILY CHARTER SCHOOL
About School District: Southside Family Charter School (SFCS) is a nationally recognized award-winning, K-8 urban elementary school located in South Minneapolis. Founded in 1972, we provide an academically challenging, socially conscious education to a diverse community of learners. We are proud to offer a social justice curriculum, small class sizes (10-14 students for grades K-6, up to 20 students in grades 7-8) and hands on learning.
We are dedicated to academic excellence, innovation in curriculum, and family and community involvement. Our commitment to civil rights and social justice has fostered a curriculum that develops children who are leaders in their communities and the world. Our small size allows us to build strong relationships with students and families while our use of the community as a classroom exposes young people to many learning opportunities outside the school's walls.
SFCS's impressive record on statewide testing illustrates the strength of our curriculum and is notable evidence that children from all backgrounds can succeed when expectations are high and educators respond to each child as an individual. SFCS's educational model has changed the way thousands of people think about education.
Mission
The Southside Family Charter School (SFCS) is a small, k-8 school that meets the needs of a culturally and ethnically diverse population by engaging children in critical thinking and problem solving, involving children in political and social activism, encouraging creative expression, offering a wide range of electives and advocating for children and families.
