The mission of Four Seasons A+ Elementary is to build a welcoming and respectful, successful learning community through art-centered and technology-enhanced practices that develop intelligent behaviors in all students. The academic program is based on the A+ Model in which teachers teach and students learn by using arts integrated instruction.

Creative experiences in music, dance, drama and visual arts help students connect the arts to other subjects. Teachers blend multicultural experiences on a daily basis. The school's year-round calendar provides up to 23 additional learning days.

Four Seasons A+ has been recognized by Saint Paul Public Schools for eight years of continuous academic improvement. Our outstanding partners include the Minnesota Orchestra, the Ordway, St. Paul Public Library, Partners for Violence Prevention and Perpich Center for Arts Education.
