Oshki Ogimaag Charter School

Oshki Ogimaag Community School a K-6 Minnesota Public Charter School in Grand Portage, MN.

Oshki Ogimaag Community School opened its doors as a K-6 Minnesota Public Charter School in September 2009. Recognizing the need to provide our children with a local, quality education with an emphasis on the Anishinaabe culture, Oshki Ogimaag was developed through a grassroots initiative which gained support from the Grand Portage Tribal Government and community. Located in a small Anishinaabe community on the Grand Portage Reservation and authorized by the Audubon Center of the North Woods, Oshki Ogimaag is housed in a high-tech, state of the art facility. Students receieve a complete education while attending a "school without walls," utilizing the school building for classrooms and our homeland as an extended campus. The physical environment of the Grand Portage Reservation is a dynamic learning center, teaching students about the natural environment, history, and interconectedness of all peoples, things, and beings. Over 93% of our students are self-identified as Native American people.
