East African Elementary Magnet School was designed in collaboration with members of the East African community who asked Saint Paul Public Schools for a high-quality, culturally responsive educational program that meets their needs.
The school focuses on the cultures and languages of East Africa, specifically the countries of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, and the languages of Somali, Amharic, Oromo, Tigrinya, Arabic and Swahili.
Based on SPPS data on families’ home languages, East African students represent approximately 7.5% of the district (approximately 2,400 students).
