About this school
Mission
City Academy transforms children, families and our community through exceptional education and bold expectations that empower children to overcome barriers.
Quick Fact 1
Every student receives a scholarship. City Academy was founded on the belief that every child should have access to quality education. All scholars receive tuition support through generous donations by both individual donors, corporations, and foundations. City Academy is the ONLY private, independent school in the region to offer scholarship support to 100% of current scholars. Tuition is based on the family’s income and varies by family.
Quick Fact 2
We use a specialist model approach to teaching, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 7:1. This model reflects an international approach to teaching, allowing our teachers to focus on instructing the one subject about which they are most knowledgeable. This means that our students receive instruction in every subject from teachers who are experts in their content area.
Quick Fact 3
All students learn Spanish and 1st – 6th graders take violin lessons. City Academy’s Violin Program is based on the principle that every child can learn to play the violin if given the right environment, quality instruction and an instrument that is appropriate for their physical stature. In all grades, students actively participate in Spanish instruction through games, songs, projects, and the use of technology. The Spanish program exposes students to other cultures and develops their Spanish speaking, reading and writing abilities.
