Risen Christ School's Philosophy

Risen Christ Catholic School believes in:

Offering quality, Catholic educational opportunities to any and all students who choose to partake - including students from diverse family, financial and cultural backgrounds from our South Minneapolis neighborhoods and the greater twin Cities area.

Providing a core academic curriculum - teaching students to read, write, reason and communicate effectively.

Influencing all aspects of education at Risen Christ with the Gospel message, including weekly worship, recognition and study of holy days and saints.

Maintaining standards of quality, excellence and achievement without sacrificing service to those students and families in need ; either financially or academically.

Expanding outreach to its communities and constituencies to enrich the lives of all involved.

Risen Christ Catholic School was established in 1993 as a result of the consolidation of the Catholic schools from Holy Rosary, St. Albert the Great, St. Stephen Catholic Church, Church of the Holy Name, and Church of the Incarnation. This consolidation created a K-8 school better equipped to serve the diverse South Minneapolis community.

Its students reflect the social and cultural diversity of the city and our South Minneapolis neighborhood. More than 78% of our students are children of color, representing the African American, Hispanic, and Hmong communities, among others. 50% are Catholic, and more than 50% receive financial assistance.

Operating on two campuses, the school can enroll up to 450 students annually, with a class size limit of 25.
