Elevating Scholars & Athletes!
The 2021-2022 school year was incredible for East Academy! 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.
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.

Ashley Hall-Green, Principal
Ashley Hall-Green has served in the field of education for over 14 years at all grade levels, K-12. As a Dean of Curriculum and Instruction and Principal in traditional and charter public schools, she has transformed school culture, climate, and student performance. She holds a BA from University of Toledo in Communication/African American Studies and a Master of Education in School Administration from Indiana Wesleyan. In her early years as teacher in elementary and middle schools, Hall-Green discovered that issues with student behavior often stemmed from misconceptions of the curriculum, poor pedagogical practices, and low engagement. She was compelled to enter leadership in order to work with teachers, students, families, and the community to support all areas of student achievement—turning around failing schools and empowering continuous improvement. She believes that effective and relevant instructional best practices, data and growth monitoring, and parent participation are all paramount to school and student success.
