At a Glance


Enrollment – Schoolcraft Learning Community (SLC) enrolls 178 students in grades kindergarten through 8.  Because of our small size, we are able to maintain a caring community for our learners.


Class Size and Structure – Average of 18 students in all grade levels.  Grades 2-7 are multi-aged.


Faculty – More than 30 men and women; all of whom are highly qualified.


Student-to-Faculty Ratio – Averages 8:1 schoolwide.


Student Life – The primary method of instruction at SLC is through learning expeditions.  Learning expeditions are long-term, indepth investigations of a theme or topic that engage students through authentic research, projects, fieldwork, service, and adventure.  Using the integrated approach, students receive instruction in French, music, piano in grades K and 1, art, physical education, and conflict management.  Orchestra is also available for grades 2-8.


Meal Program – All students are offered a balanced breakfast and a delicious lunch each day.  Students and staff are treated to many different ethnic varieties of foods.  Schoolcraft Learning Community does participate in the free and reduced lunch program.  Students may elect to bring lunches from home.  Check out our menu!


Campus & Facilities –  SLC leases Lac du Bois (the French village) from Concordia Language Villages during the school year.  The transition from summer camp cabins to classrooms is almost magical.  We have 10 cabins/classrooms spread out over two smaller campuses, separated by a soccer field.  We have access to lots of northern Minnesota outdoors as an important part of our classroom environment.

Child care assistance is available to parents who are receiving assistance under the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) and parents whose income is at or below 175% of the Federal Poverty guideline and are in an approved activity. It is important for parents to know their child is well-cared for while they are at work, looking for work, obtaining training or going to school in order to secure employment. Application is required to have eligibility determined. CCAP may not cover all child care costs. Parental amounts depend on the family’s income, the number of people in the family, and how much the child care provider charges. The goal is to assist the family to maintain employment and gain self-sufficiency.
