A Unique Program

Linwood Monroe Arts Plus Pre K-8 offers a truly unique educational setting in the Twin Cities area. Spanning two campuses, Linwood Monroe Arts Plus provides arts-infused curriculum for children pre-K through grade 8.  Children in Kindergarten through grade 3 are introduced to arts-infused learning at the Linwood campus and continue grades 4 – 8 at the Monroe campus.  Pre- Kindergarten for 4 year olds and early childhood programs for children birth to five years old are also housed in spacious and newly designed rooms on the Monroe campus. 

Rigorous Learning + Arts!
At both sites, students are challenged with rigorous reading, writing, and math instruction.  Additionally, there is daily instruction in the arts both during regular classroom instruction as well as during specialist classes.  The arts classes are taught by trained specialists in the areas of: visual arts, drama, vocal

music, instrumental music, and dance. 

Junior High Experience

After completing their elementary years at Monroe, students step seamlessly into the junior high, where their teachers already know them as a result of being a part of the same learning community since Kindergarten.  At the junior high level, students receive the same content area instruction delivered at other Saint Paul schools, and continue with their arts-infused learning. 

Arts Partnerships
Monroe and Linwood have a well developed set of partnerships and residencies with agencies such as U.S. Bank, Macalester College, Perpich Center for Arts Education, and The Ordway Center for Performing Arts, just to name afew.  Because of these partnerships, students of all ages have opportunities to experience arts through a variety of field trips throughout the year.  Each week students also show what they have learned through performance at the school wide Friday Gathering.
