Schaeffer Academy was named after Dr. Francis Schaeffer, the Christian philosopher, evangelist, and theologian who founded L'Abri. For a time, Dr. Schaeffer made his home in Rochester, MN. He was committed to scriptural truth, passionate about understanding culture, compassionate towards people and a lover of God. The school's founders made the connection between Dr. Schaeffer's ideas and their own desire to convey the permanent things - Truth, Beauty, and Goodness - to their children.

Schaeffer Academy is a K-12, independent, Christian, classical, private school in Rochester, Minnesota founded in 1993. Rochester, MN is the largest city in southeastern Minnesota and home to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic.
