ERA is an excellent, challenging, inclusive and supportive educational environment. The teachers at ERA hold students accountable and support them to be their very best. They focus on the whole student, helping them become educationally advanced and a good, kind, well-prepared human being. We were very lucky to find ERA and get in. It was the best decision.

A true college preparatory school. Challenging curriculum, small class sizes and committed hard-working staff. Consistently rank in the top in test scores. Administration works very hard. Kids are complimented wherever they go for behavior, appearance and character. A hidden gem in the Twin Cities. Close Quote

In the past two years, the spirit of this school has declined. There is no longer communication between Director, Teacher or Parent.
Students are allowed to fail without knowledge.
This school has become a disgrace to children wanting to learn and their parents. Close Quote
