Welcome to
Urban Academy

At Urban Academy we believe that education is most effective when students are truly engaged in their studies. There is a vibrancy in our classrooms as students connect learning to real life through the arts, technology, sciences and the great outdoors. The results speak for themselves: high academic achievement and talented, confident students well positioned to become the brightest innovators of tomorrow. We operate on the basis that every role and every student is important and we are fortunate to have a strong and committed community of parents walking alongside us. The future of Urban Academy is bright, and we are excited about the students and families who choose UA as their second home!

Our Head of School's Welcome Message

At Urban Academy, we are educating for tomorrow, creating opportunities for students to connect deeply with their learning as well as who they are as learners. We believe our students will experience success when they are active participants in their education. This is achieved when students engage in rich and meaningful learning opportunities that challenge their thinking and understanding. 

We are connected to one another through learning, as staff, students and our parent community. We rely upon one another and are stronger for it. We believe that inspiration comes from the world around us, and from one another, learning and growing together. We also believe that we have a responsibility to contribute and use all that we are offered in order to improve our relationships, classes, school, local and global community. It is so encouraging that every day I see students of all ages connecting, learning, inspiring, growing and giving in so many meaningful ways.

Our classrooms allow students to explore their learning through an interdisciplinary approach with a focus on experiential education throughout the curriculum and grade levels. Urban Academy students have a history of high academic achievement, community engagement and an understanding that hard work and commitment are required to achieve success. They exhibit the attributes required to become the innovators and leaders of tomorrow.

We also have a vibrant community at Urban Academy that believes in equality and respect for all members, regardless of the role one plays. We celebrate our differences as every student and staff member is unique, valued, and cared for. We are fortunate that our dedicated parent community supports us to achieve our goals and vision. 

I welcome you to explore the website and get to know Urban Academy. And please, join us if you too are excited about the power that comes with a deep and meaningful education.

Mr. Mike Slinger
Head of School
