As an official International Baccalaureate World School, this public school provides an education that promotes international understanding of issues, as well as critical thinking and inquiry skills. Located in the Tangletown neighborhood of Southwest Minneapolis, the school offers a range of high-rigor courses, partly by enrolling each student in challenging courses and Advanced Placement classes that can earn students college credit. Springing from a complete program and faculty redesign a half-decade ago, Washburn emphasizes artistic, academic and athletic opportunities for each of the school's students.
