Magnuson is a private holistic Christian elementary day school in White Bear Lake, Minnesota with a mission of developing the heart, soul, mind, and body of each of our students. Led by an award-winning Christian faculty, our children learn strong core values, personal responsibility and the discipline they need to succeed. Outside the classroom, Magnuson promotes cross-generational contact with our preschool and our seniors to center our children's education in the ongoing life of a vibrant Christian community. By taking part in service oriented and outreach activities, our students gain real-life awareness of the needs of others in the world around them. Magnuson Christian School currently has Full Day Kindergarten, First, Second, Third, and Fourth Grades. The 2009-2010 school year will see the addition of a Fifth Grade with one new grade ( up to the eighth grade ) per year being added in the following years. Our challenging and exciting core curriculum is enriched with Spanish, Music, Art, Phy-Ed, & Piano Lessons. There is also busing, hot lunch, and extended day care available.
