Mission Statement

City Academy serves children and families with economic and geographic barriers to strong education options – 90% of their students reside in unaccredited or underperforming school districts and 100% of their students receive scholarships to attend City Academy. Dana Brown generously supports their scholarship fund to ensure we are able to serve a growing student body.

Impact

City Academy’s primary objective is to prepare their students for rigorous educational environments and place students in high-performing secondary schools, enabling them to attend college and pursue enriching careers.

• Scholarship support has allowed City Academy to grow their student body from 140 in 2011 to 190 students this year.
• They now have 170 alumni, almost 80% of whom have returned to City Academy to volunteer their time.
• 100% of their students graduate and enroll in high performing secondary schools; in 2016, 100% of their graduates were accepted to the region’s top independent schools.
• 100% of graduates that participate in their Alumni Support Program enroll in college and most receive full academic scholarships.
