Lionsgate Academy (District 4183) is a Minnesota public charter school[2] which serves grades 7–12. Established in 2008, Lionsgate Academy is open to all students of all abilities; however, their program is inclusively designed to meet the unique needs of students living with Asperger’s syndrome and those on the autism spectrum. These supports also benefit students without disabilities and those with disabilities other than Asperger’s syndrome and Autism spectrum disorder.
The school's address is 3420 Nevada Avenue North in Crystal, Minnesota in a shared building with the local Cornerstone Church.[3] The Cornerstone Church building was originally built as a middle school before its purchase by the church, making it particularly suitable for Lionsgate Academy.
The goal for the graduates of Lionsgate Academy is that they will, to the fullest extent possible, move on to further education or gainful employment, live independently, and have meaningful relationships with others. The Lionsgate Academy AIM Program (Achieving Independence and Maturity)[4] is a transitions program for students seeking to become more independent in the areas of Independent Living, Employment, and Post-Secondary Education. The AIM program serves students from 18–21 years of age and is located off-site. Coordinates: 45°01′09″N 93°22′17″W / 45.01918°N 93.37151°W
