SET Academy School
Set Academy is a K-4 grade school that is a companion to Metro Schools College Prep (grades 5-12) which shares the same building and Board of Directors. This new K-4 program fits well with Metro School’s current program designs and teacher teaching and collaboration practices, especially focused on serving a high number of English Language Learners. By expanding to K-12 school a number of benefits emerge for students, families and the school, which will, in turn, contribute to meeting our mission. Expanding synergy between families with students who attend for many years, staff who get to know these students and families, and the quality programs and experiences for learning and action provided for the students. Familiarity with programs by one student will be shared with others in the same family, which will further inspire siblings. Shared positive learning experiences can become a platform for inspiring students across grades through family connections and friendships. Effective leadership and staff cohesion will help ensure that all these students gain benefits according to the Metro Schools mission.
Mission
Set Academy and Metro Schools College Prep are committed to academic excellence and closing the achievement gap by establishing rigorous goals for students, parents, teachers, and the school.

Vision
The vision of Set Academy and Metro Schools College is for our students to have a steadfast belief in their worth as human beings and that they will be prepared socially and academically to fulfill their aspirations in a changing, challenging world community.
