Welcome
Our Vision
Metro Deaf School - Minnesota North Star Academy, a charter K-12 school, provides a bilingual and interdisciplinary curriculum using American Sign Language (ASL) and English for students who are primarily deaf, deafblind, and hard-of-hearing.
Metro Deaf School-Minnesota North Star Academy promotes academic excellence for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students using an ASL/English bilingual approach. Our primary purpose is to empower our students to develop the skills and knowledge to succeed as global citizens.
MDS-MNSA is the combined programs of two schools that merged together starting in the 2009-2010 school year. Metro Deaf School was a Pre-K through 8th grade Charter Deaf School. Their website was at http://metrodeafschool.org. Minnesota North Star Academy was a Charter Deaf High School. Their website was at http://mnnorthstaracademy.org/. Both websites contain information about their Pre-K through 8th and High School programs that are revelant to our merged school programs.
