The FAIR High
School for Arts is THE Artist’s Choice for High School!
Does picking up a paintbrush, stepping on a stage, or
writing a song transform you and allow you to truly express yourself? Do you
dream big and not only think outside the box, but erase it altogether? Are you
looking for a high school that feels like home, where you can be accepted for
who you are? Then we welcome you to The FAIR High School for Arts, which is THE
place for artists and performers. Located in downtown Minneapolis at the
gateway to the Arts District, The Fine Arts Interdisciplinary Resource (FAIR)
School for Arts is a public 9-12 citywide magnet high school rooted in equity,
innovation and creativity. All students, regardless of background or experience
in the arts, or residence in Minneapolis, can request to attend FAIR and learn
through arts-integrated classes and diverse downtown arts and career internship
experiences. From performing on the stages of historic theaters to showcasing
art at the X-Games, FAIR students see art not as an extracurricular activity,
but core to their learning.
Students’ individual interests and talents are
nurtured through diverse and culturally sustaining learning experiences both
inside the walls of FAIR and extending to the greater downtown arts campus.
Fine arts and core content teachers will get to know students' individuals to
guide them on their paths to success. FAIR wants to help students discover and
refine their own artistry by connecting them with resident professional artists
and partnerships in the downtown community.
Perform on stage, create in a studio, or work behind
the scenes while completing a high school degree through arts-integrated
coursework. All students entering grades 9-12, regardless of background
or experience in the arts, are invited to apply through a flexible admissions
process. Students with an eagerness to learn and a capacity for continued
growth are encouraged to come learn with FAIR.
The FAIR High School for Arts is a Minneapolis Public
School - but is unique as the District's only high school magnet and only MPS
school that gives equal priority to residents and non-residents. Students
enrolled at FAIR also have equal access to Go-To Passes for taking the city bus
to and from school. Non-Minneapolis residents welcome!

MPS
Online School is a virtual option for students in grades K-12
While
an online school option has been available for high school students for many
years, with the changes to teaching and learning brought on by the pandemic,
MPS is ensuring that an online option is available to a broader range of
students. Many students thrive with online learning.
MPS
Online School is like any other school with a community of students, teachers,
