Prodeo Academy Activities

The Prodeo Academy Athletics & Activities Program is designed to support the development of the whole student—academically, physically, socially, and emotionally. Participation in athletics and activities promotes teamwork, leadership, perseverance, and school pride.

Prodeo Academy participates in the Minnesota Charter Schools Athletic Association, providing structured and competitive athletic opportunities for middle school students.

In addition to athletics, Prodeo offers enrichment programming that supports student interests, identity development, and academic growth.

Activities and sports not available through the middle school may be offered by Columbia Heights, Minneapolis or St.Paul recreation and/or local youth associations. All students in grades K–8 are encouraged to participate. No student will be denied participation due to financial need.
