Ramsey Junior High is the first International Baccalaureate-MiddleYears Program (IB-MYP) school in Saint Paul.  IB-MYP is based on the fundamental concepts of Intercultural Awareness, Holistic Education, and Communication and helps give our learners a broad, worldview education. IB helps students participate actively and responsibly in a changing and increasingly interrelated world. Learning how to learn and how to evaluate information critically is as important as learning facts. 

Ramsey was among the first schools in Minnesota to be a certified Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) site.  AVID provides help in building skills in the areas of organization, time management, note taking, and test taking. While the program has a target group of students, we have successfully “AVIDized” Ramsey by teaching the use of these skills in all classrooms to enrich our students’ study habits.?

FRENCH IMMERSION

Ramsey is the district's middle level French Immersion program.  French Immersion students attend classes taught in French.  They also have the opportunity to be mini-monos at Concordia Language Village for younger students.
