School Overview

Augsburg Fairview Academy (AFA) is a unique public charter high school located in the Phillips neighborhood of Minneapolis. Founded as a partnership between Augsburg University and Fairview Health Services, the school is specifically designed to provide an integrated academic and professional environment for students who have a strong interest in health sciences, medical careers, and community service. By leveraging its proximity to major healthcare institutions, AFA offers students hands-on learning experiences, mentorship opportunities, and a curriculum that emphasizes real-world application in the medical field.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
