The Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf (MSAD) is a public residential school serving deaf children in Minnesota, United States. It is one of two Minnesota State Academies in Faribault and operated by the state for particular student populations.
When the school was established in 1863, it was named the Minnesota School for the Deaf (MSD). In 1986, the name was changed to the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf.
Two buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, both designed by state architect Clarence H. Johnston, Sr.: the Administration Building/Girls' Dormitory, in a Georgian Revival style, and Noyes Hall, in a Classical Revival style.
MSAD is a bilingual school where the students are taught through American Sign Language and use English in writing and reading. It offers programs ranging from infants to high school specialized for deaf children.
The school is fully accredited by the North Central Association and Conference of Educators and Administrators Serving the Deaf (CEASD).
Preschool and elementary students are in Quinn Hall. The middle school students are in Noyes Hall. High school students are in Smith Hall.
MSAD is a residential school. It has two dormitories where students reside throughout the week. Students typically arrive on Sunday evenings and depart on Friday afternoons. Transportation is provided by the students' respective school districts. Parents can choose to pick up and drop off their child(ren) at the campus. Dormitories are for students who live more than 20 miles from the campus. Students who live within 20 miles of the campus are called "day students." Frechette Hall is where the boys reside, and Tate Hall is where the girls reside. MSAD residential programs offers extracurricular activities, peer interaction, student growth and development, achievement, and more.
MSAD offers several athletics from 4th grade to 12th grade.
