Urban Academy Reviews

Urban Academy was founded in 2001 with the intention of creating a school that was creative, engaging, and which delivered the core curriculum in a hands-on, cooperative, interactive way. The success of the program is evident in its growth—it is now housed within two campuses—and in its reputation. Families are drawn, rightly, to the academic program, though they are also drawn by the community that the school has described, one that approaches the arts, sciences, social studies equally, and building instruction around points there those fields intersect. The facilities are also one of the school’s strengths. The ideal student is one able to thrive in varied, challenging, creative, and very social learning environment.
