Empowering students to shape their futures

and change the world

 

Valuing Your Child for Who They Are

As a parent, nothing is more important than the happiness of your child. Selecting the right charter school for them is a big decision. You want teachers that care about their future success as much as you do.

You’re looking for a school that appreciates their individuality, cultivates their talents, and gives them a true sense of belonging. A supportive environment that motivates, encourages and inspires them. To dream big and work hard.

You want assurance that their differences will be embraced, unique culture and beliefs respected, and voices heard. You want them to love their school experience. To learn more than just algebra.

At Pride Academy Charter School, our focus goes far beyond academics. Our scholars take part in community projects to develop their leadership skills and understand the value of giving back.

We foster critical thinking, emotional intelligence, personal accountability, and honest expression in our scholars, teachers, donors, and families alike.

Join our Family

As a scholar, teacher, parent, or donor, you’re invited to become a part of a tightly-knit family. A family that works together to foster better futures for our scholars and positive change within our community.

Together, we’ll ensure our scholars have the tools they need to build academic resilience and overcome the challenges they’ll inevitably face in high school, college, and beyond.

 

Parents

As a Pride Academy parent, you’ll feel validated, truly listened to, and a pivotal part of our community.

You’re wholly involved in important decisions about your child’s schooling and community endeavors.

You’re given peace of mind knowing we have your child’s best interests at heart and are always available to discuss your concerns.

 

Teachers

As a Pride Academy teacher, you’re immersed in a unique environment where you can develop your skills.

You gain experience meeting the challenges of urban education with innovative teaching methods.

Your distinct teaching style is embraced and your opinions matter. New doors open up in your career from your time at Pride Academy.

 

Support

As a Pride Academy donor, your generosity changes our scholars’ and their families’ lives for the better.

You’re treated as another member of our family and are thanked publicly for your service to your local community.

Without your support, we would not be able to sustain our outstanding level of service to our scholars and provide them with the tools they need to thrive.
