Our mission is to work in partnership with urban parents to provide an opportunity for every child to meet or
exceed their individual potential in basic academic and life skills by utilizing research-proven methods in a safe, structured, and respectful community.
Inspiring, challenging, and enhancing every student’s innate ability to succeed.
Honesty, personal responsibility, self-discipline, cooperation and respect for others.
Urban Academy provides a quality education for urban students in grades PreK-8. We
believe that education plays a critical role in developing creative and responsible human
beings. Children have an innate ability to learn. When nurtured and taught in an
environment that respects their unique culture, abilities, resiliency, and effort, they
awaken the desire to learn. Ready and willing to be taught, children grow and flourish
as creative citizens, able to make their own distinctive contribution to society.
Urban Academy believes in a strong partnership with the students’ home and community
in which they reside. Every student is to be understood holistically, by understanding the
student’s academic abilities, social and personal life, which impacts their academics and
behavior. Our Family Specialist is a resource to the parents by providing them resources
that they need so that they can support their children at home.
