What Makes Urban Academy Unique?

Urban Academy is about preparing students for a rapidly changing future. We give them the opportunity to cultivate their joy of discovery, to connect seemingly unrelated subject matter, to think on their feet, and to think critically. We’re moving from traditional education to innovative education, constantly evolving and creating a learning environment unlike any other.

Our academic standards are high, because we know our students are capable. We inspire them to learn holistically through unique experiences and real-world applications. The future is dynamic, changing and fast; we think our students should be all of those things too.

The Urban Academy teaching staff is also second to none. As a group of  passionate professionals they share a commitment to the highest standards of learning and recognize the potential in each child.  By working together and drawing on one another’s skill sets, they are a dynamic group of educators who genuinely care about their students and are committed to the future of the school.

To attend Urban Academy is to join a school that keeps your children’s future in the forefront of how we operate. It is a school that will prepare them for what is to come. We develop the leaders of tomorrow, creating global citizens who are educated, compassionate, resourceful and empowered. Our students are powerful thinkers, communicators and engaged risk-takers.

We are also in the geographic centre of the Lower Mainland, conveniently located in New Westminster, situated right on transit routes, near urban environments, parks and Highway 1. We are a defining part of this rapidly expanding neighbourhood. We are a destination school with students from New Westminster, Burnaby, Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey, Richmond and Maple Ridge, as well as other international cities.

Our brand new campus will boast multiple storeys and over 60,000 square feet of learning space, accommodating 450 young minds. Urban Academy positions students for success in their post-secondary initiatives and ultimately their careers.

The best part? At Urban Academy, your child receives a world-class education, supported by a passionate community. We are proud of how far we have come, and are excited about our very bright future.
