Located in West St. Paul, Minnesota, River Heights Charter School is a tuition-free, grade 7-12 public school committed to project-based learning.  Our students design their own curriculum in the form of projects, completing those skills that fulfill the entire scope of standards required for graduation. 

This year, grades seven and eight will be a great addition to our program!  New River Heights students will enjoy our teacher-guided, gradual process for developing the independent skills necessary to carry out a full-fledged project.  Identifying a student's areas of strong interest is an important first step of the project-based learning plan. 

No jarring interruption of thought or work from school bells or running from one class to the next...students are given the time needed to focus on their work, accomplishing portions of their projects with efficiency...River Heights is able to establish natural breaks in the day with student learning in mind...an element important to students and parents.
