Battle Creek Elementary students learn to be successful in school and in life through our focus on STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. Our unique location, next to the trails and ponds of Battle Creek Regional Park, enables students to experience the science of nature first-hand.
We partner with Science from Scientists, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and STARBASE to give students real-life experiences that grow their knowledge and skills. In addition to daily “STEAM time” in their classrooms, students also have opportunities in music and physical education.
Active parents collaborate with our staff to plan fun family events and raise money for additional resources and field trips. Battle Creek Elementary is a vibrant community of curious, engaged students learning how to make the world a better place for everyone.
