The 2021-2022 school year has been incredible! Our academic performance rose 14 points this year. Our basketball team took home the championship. And we continue to add enrichments, like our STEM program offering Robotics and Coding, that give our Eagles opportunities to Take Flight. Another exciting school year is just around the corner, and we look forward to seeing many familiar faces and welcoming new students and families to East Academy this fall.
Our teachers and staff are committed to providing a safe and nurturing place where every student can feel at home. We set high expectations for our scholars–academically, socially, and behaviorally. We partner with parents, caregivers, and our community to support students as they strive for their best. At East Academy, we believe in the unique potential of every child and are proud to be a part of helping our students achieve success.
