our values

At Urban Academy, We Believe That:

  • Inspiring a love of learning depends upon extending education outside the classroom walls.
  • Empowering the individual to take risks and face challenges allows them to build life long skills and achieve their potential.
  • Demonstrating a commitment to community and others relies upon intentional opportunities for social emotional development and service.
  • Creating opportunities to develop the creative innovators as leaders of tomorrow will impact our communities for the better.

    • The right education takes your child from remembering and reciting to knowing and understanding.

    Stop imagining. Start achieving.
