Sojourner Truth Academy

Located at 3820 Emerson Ave N in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sojourner Truth Academy is an active, open independent charter school district serving families within a large city environment in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area. Operating as a dedicated single-school district, the academy provides a seamless educational path spanning pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. Designed to nurture students during their foundational academic years, the school currently serves a student body of 383 children across early childhood, elementary, and middle school grade levels.

The academy embraces a diverse student body, primarily serving Black and Hispanic learners alongside multiracial, Asian, and White students. A standout feature of Sojourner Truth Academy is its exceptionally comprehensive staffing model designed to maximize individualized attention and learning support. Backed by a full-time equivalent workforce of over 150 dedicated personnel—comprising nearly 52 classroom teachers, 31 instructional aides, and 68 support staff members—the district delivers a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio. This rich staffing ecosystem allows the academy to offer tailored classroom instruction, robust academic interventions, and holistic support services tailored to the needs of every child.
