I love the small class sizes!
It's a high quality education
I love our academics. It's a 1 on 1 environment.
I love the relationship we have with our teachers.
"I was not motivated at other schools. And, I thought it was actually cool to not be good at school. After coming to City Academy, I realized that it is cool to be good at school - and, it's fun to succeed in life."
Helped me grow + succeed!
Walker, Alumni Student
"They challenge me to think-not just memorize or regurgitate a bunch of information. I feel like I'm growing intellectually."
I'm growing Intellectually

"I know that I'm going to a safe place. When I walk into school every morning, I know that the students are going to respect me. The teachers are going to respect me. I am not going to be unnoticed and disappear into the crowd. I have presence at City Academy, and that is something I didn't have at my other school."
It's a safe place

"City Academy Helps me to be my best by pushing me, especially in essays and analysis and ciritical thinking beyond what I thought I could do."
Pushes me to be my best!
Olivia, Student
"I was originally at another school. I really didn't like the environment of that school, and then I came here, and the environment different from that school to this school is dramatic. Everyone here is a friend. Thank you City Academy for making me who I am today."
Everyone here is a friend.

"At other schools there's a totem pole of popularity. At the top, you have the jocks and the cheerleaders and the rich kids and other people. I was at the very bottom of the totem pole, which was uncarved and pointless and just there. It wasn't fun. Then I came here, and the totem pole got knocked over. Thank you City Academy for changing my life in so many ways. This is an amazing school."
This school changed my life!
Lucas, Student
"I needed a change. I needed to downsize. The school that I was at was just so big, and there were just so many people that I just couldn't focus. And, the kids were mean to me. I thought this [City Academy] would be perfect because it's small. It feels like community. It's just awesome. Many of my teachers will hunt me down to find me and ask me where my work is. And, I can't just give them some lame excuse because they know that my work is missing. They don't accept less than the work you're supposed to give them. Thank you City Academy for saving my life."
It feels like community.
Connor, Student
"Last year, when I got out of the Cambridge testing, after writing three essays in two hours about European world history, it was a totally different kind of relief. I was so proud that I did something like that. That's like one of those crazy Hogwarts things that you don't think kids actually do. You know - write three essays in two hours - but I did it, and I got an A. And, it was awesome, and it felt really, really, good."
This school makes me proud of my hard work.
