Our Citizenship Approach
Virtues like responsibility and perseverance are key to our students' success. We work toward academic excellence while learning to become responsible citizens.
A Community Built On Virtues
The mission of Citizens Academy East is to produce learners who exemplify academic excellence and responsible citizenship. Our vision is for every student to graduate from college and become a productive and civically engaged member of society.
We get there by what we call The Citizens Academy Way. We're proud of this transformative school culture that is the foundation of our success. The Citizens Academy Way (The CA Way) is a set of high academic and behavioral expectations that promote a sense of ambition, personal responsibility, and a ‘no excuses’ attitude in all of our students.
Ready to Take The Next Step?
Our school is public and open to all families, but we do have limited spaces due to our very small class sizes. If you are interested in securing your child's spot, please consider taking action sooner than later. Thanks for your interest!
