Rooted in nature, growing future leaders

At Harambee Elementary, we’re a school community rooted in environmental science and community culture committed to student-centered learning. Our name, Harambee, means “working together for a common purpose,” and that spirit is at the heart of everything we do. 

We offer a one-of-a-kind pre-kindergarten through sixth grade education with a focus on environmental science and community connection. Students learn in the classroom and explore the outdoors, engage in hands-on learning, and discover how they can make a positive impact in the world around them.

Harambee is the only school in the Twin Cities offering a unique blend of environmental learning and community connection, with a small school environment and free transportation.

Families across the Twin Cities choose Harambee not only for our specialized program and small-school feel, but also because we make access easier with free bus transportation across many Twin Cities communities. 

From our onsite preschool through elementary school, Harambee provides a seamless and supportive learning journey. With a small school community, strong relationships, and engaging learning opportunities, students are supported and challenged as they learn and grow. Whether you’re part of our preschool family or just starting your school adventure, we’d love to welcome your child to Harambee. 

  • A choice school without compromise
  • Located in Maplewood, Minnesota
  • Free Metro-Area bus transportation
  • Unique environmental science curriculum
  • A community that feels like family

 

We came for the environmental science programming, and stayed for the community.
