History
Venture Academy was founded in 2011 by Jon Bacal and Verne Johnson, and joined in 2012 by Kerry Muse, to serve students in grades 6-12. The founders shared the belief that in the heart, mind, and soul of every young person is a genius waiting to be discovered, a passion and purpose waiting to be found. They aimed to implement a personalized learning model that closes the vast college- and career-readiness gap that confronts economically disadvantaged youth in the Twin Cities.
Venture Academy is authorized by Innovative Quality Schools.
