The Audubon Center has committed itself to sponsorship of charter schools that have recognized the importance of project based and environmental education. We offer to our sponsored schools:

  • An annual retreat to connect to other schools that have similar goals,
  • Connections to the state organizations that are committed to charter school success,
  • The option of graduate training and residential experiences that are tied to the schools mission
  • A group of experts who can help the schools overcome obstacles and develop projects that will be successful and significant.

Request for Proposals (RFP)

The RFP is our design for a charter school that would encompass the best of an environmental education focused charter school. Those who are considering a charter should look at this RFP and decide if this is what they would like. If it is contact us for sponsorship and guidance. We will consider other charter school proposals, but will give priority to sponsoring schools that adopt this model.

The Audubon Center is a Residential Environmental Learning Center centrally located only
about 90 miles from Duluth, Brainerd, St. Cloud, St. Paul, and Minneapolis.
Far enough away, yet close enough to save money and time on travel!

The Audubon Center is a proud sponsor of several Minnesota Charter Schools.
We sponsor charter schools who support and share our mission:

"To protect, improve and promote the enjoyment of the natural environment through formal and informal education programs and research; to assist and encourage environmental education programs,
centers, and careers."
