Urban Academy has provided students with great mentorship in preparing students for a higher education. The educators provide constant support to their students.
8/7/2019
As an upcoming senior at urban I would say that it's a school that really has changed my life and opened me up as a person. We have great art and photography classes as well as unique academic classes that we get to choose on our own. They don't automatically throw us straight into our schedules at the beginning of the year and let new and current really get comfortable with each other. There are opportunities to get internships and I'm currently enrolled to take college classes. If you prefer a small environment Urban is a perfect school for you.

I like that we had to do a lot of work at once which prepared me for college work.
