A metro charter school focusing on agriculture is shutting down at the end of the school year. The Academy for Sciences and Agriculture was founded in 2001 to provide agricultural literacy to urban and suburban students. It is known for personalized learning and its agriculture and STEM-based curriculum. AFSA serves students from pre-K to 12th grade with campuses in Vadnais Heights and Little Canada. School officials cited declining enrollment since the COVID pandemic as the reason for the closing.
