Parnassus Preparatory School

Thank you for supporting Parnassus!

Since opening our doors in 2011, Parnassus Preparatory School has expanded to serve more than 1,300 students from Prima - Fourth Level Rhetoric (K-12). We have sent five graduating classes off to pursue their college studies and we  look forward to graduating many more classical scholars for years to come. 

Our rich curriculum and beautiful campus support our goal of providing an elite classical education for all.  Families choose Parnassus for our rigorous, classical education as well as our high academic standards, rivaling the best education offered anywhere. In 2021 U.S. News & World Report ranked Parnassus as the 4th best high school in Minnesota (#338 nationwide), the 2nd best high school for STEM in Minnesota (#39 nationwide), and the 4th best charter high school in Minnesota (#79 nationwide).

As a charter school, we receive state funding for most, but not all, of our programs since we do not receive the local funds that traditional public schools receive.  Our success is bolstered by your support! Thank you for helping us as we train our students to become lifelong learners, great citizens, critical thinkers, and leaders.

Every gift helps us as we work to fulfill our mission to provide our students with a classical education that is grounded in the classical Trivium and demands their best in intellectual achievement and character development. 

We cannot thank you enough for your support!
