MPR’s Tim Pugmire profiles Seed Academy and Harvest Preparatory School, an African American private school in North Minneapolis. The school began in 1985 as a pre-school program in its founders' house. Ten years later there are 300 students enrolled in pre-school through sixth grade.
As urban public schools struggle to increase academic achievement among many poor and minority children, Seed Academy and Harvest Preparatory School is succeeding where others have failed. Pugmire visited the school to learn how and why it works.
