The Journey School (TJS) is a new public charter school located at 775 Lexington Parkway N in the Midway neighborhood of St. Paul, MN that opened in the fall of 2019 serving students in grades K – 6 and will add a grade each year after to serve students in grades K – 8.
Our vision at TJS is to empower teachers, engage parents, and inspire a community by setting high expectations through technology-supported teaching and learning, implementing high standards, and measuring results. Our goal is to close the achievement gap for students who attend TJS by raising achievement for all. Engaged parents are key to closing the achievement gap and ensuring every student is meeting expectations. TJS will develop parent leaders within the school community through a parent-teacher organization and the community at large. Every child will gain an appreciation for cultural differences and learn the value of respect, hard work, and character throughout their learning program. We will implement this vision through a blended learning model, which integrates technology into classrooms creating a flexible space that allows teachers to have more individualized time with students by leveraging a variety of tools to engage them in a personalized learning process.
