PACT is a responsive, community-based K-12 public charter school built on a committed partnership between parents, students, and teachers. Together, we strive to achieve strong moral character and excellence in education. The teachers, administration, and students' parents are the sole entities operating the school, and in a working partnership, they determine the curriculum, schedules, and programs. PACT focuses on core academics to prepare students for college and lifelong learning. PACT provides a positive, safe learning environment for each student. We aim to instill a life-long love of learning and the ability to learn how to learn. We are a public charter school open to any student in Minnesota. No tuition is charged, and transportation is provided within the boundaries of the Anoka-Hennepin district. We have over 1,300 students from kindergarten through grade 12. PACT helps students develop a strong sense of self-worth and respect for others and the world around them. We encourage them to recognize their ability to contribute something unique to our society.
