General Info

Banaadir Academy offers a K-12 tuition-free academic experience designed by educators, parents/guardians & leaders in the Minnesota Somali community. Students progress through Banaadir to become responsible, competent & prepared life-long learners.We are MTCS, a K-12 academic community. In 1995, we began with one school, the Minnesota Transition Charter School, and have since grown into a collaboration of nine learning options each having their own focus and personality. Like our programs, we know that each child is unique with their own set of strengths, interests and needs, and we want to build on these. Its a one step at a time process one success that builds on another until they have reached their goal.
