TO GRADUATION AND BEYOND
“MNIC has changed my life in so many ways. I am a better person because of the love and caring people at MNIC. I don’t know what I would have done without MNIC. I wouldn’t have wanted to graduate from any other school”. —A.F. Spring 2013 MNIC graduate
July 22, 2016
Dear student or family member,
Welcome to the Minnesota Internship Center (MNIC), your school for the 2016-2017 school year! We are pleased you have chosen to join us. We believe MNIC is more than a school—not only do we provide excellent academic programs; we have a unique set of services for the family. That includes employment services, housing assistance and much more.
We are excited for this new school year in a new school with you or your child as our student. MNIC is in its 14th year, and we have many exciting programs at several Minneapolis and St. Paul sites. We will have a number of family events coming up during the year and we hope to meet all of you. If you have questions or would like more information, please call me at the number below. See you soon!
Sincerely,
Kevin Byrne Executive Director

What are Charter Schools?
Charter schools are public schools of choice that operate with freedom from some of the regulations
that apply to traditional public schools. The "charter" establishing each such school is a performance
contract detailing the school's mission, program, goals, students served, methods of assessment,
and ways to measure success. Charter schools are accountable to their sponsor—usually a local
school board or a non-profit organization—to produce positive academic results and adhere to the
charter contract. The Minnesota Internship Center Charter School is sponsored by Pillsbury United
Communities, an organization that’s been serving Minneapolis for 120 years.
Benefits: Charter schools benefit children and parents by:
o Increasing opportunities for learning and access to quality education for all students
o Creating choice for parents and students within the public school system
o Providing a system of accountability for results in public education
o Encouraging innovative teaching practices
o Creating new professional opportunities for teachers
o Encouraging community and parent involvement in public education
Parents and teachers choose charter schools primarily for educational reasons--high academic
standards, small class size, innovative approaches, or educational philosophies in line with their
own.
Brief History: In 1991 Minnesota passed the first charter school law, with California following suit in
1992. Charter schools are one of the fastest growing innovations in education policy, enjoying broad
bipartisan support from governors and state legislators. There are nearly 2,700 approved charter
schools in the US (over 100 in Minnesota, including the Minnesota Internship Center Charter
School).
How to Enroll in MNIC: Students between the ages of 15 and 20 who have not graduated from high
school can earn their diploma and receive career training at the Minnesota Internship Center. There
is no fee or tuition for eligible students. For more information or to register: call 612-584-0170. Our
