We Are For...

Eastside Academy was created as a refuge and place of growth for high school students who may not fit the mold of traditional schools.

Individualized Attention & Support

Every EA student is known, supported, and celebrated for who they are. Small class sizes and dedicated teachers provide each student with the individual attention they need to succeed academically, personally, and socially. Whether it’s a specific learning goal or a personal struggle, our teachers create a customized path for every student, offering the tools, guidance, and encouragement needed to achieve academic readiness.

Belonging & Community

Eastside Academy is a safe community where students can be known. For those who feel overlooked, misunderstood, or out of place, we offer a warm and welcoming community that embraces everyone for who they are. Students make meaningful connections with peers, mentors, and teachers who genuinely care and work together to create an uplifting environment. We believe that personal growth happens when students find acceptance and belonging.

Comprehensive Counseling & Emotional Support

Education goes beyond academics at EA. Many students come to us with emotional burdens or life experiences that require a compassionate, supportive environment. Our robust counseling program includes both individual and group sessions where students receive the mental health support they need to heal and grow. We help our students build resilience, self-worth, and hope for the future.

Different by Design

Our unique and innovate approach to student life reaches beyond the traditional education models. We provide an individualized education plan and holistic counseling to all students. For students with a greater need, we can provide a safe and stable home environment through our housing program.

Education

Eastside Academy’s education program provides a personalized learning experience where small class sizes and supportive teachers who work to make every student feel valued. Our curriculum is tailored to meet each student’s unique needs and goals, offering a structured yet flexible environment where they gain confidence, build skills, and thrive academically.

Counseling

Our counseling program is a cornerstone of life at EA. Offering essential mental health and addiction recovery support we help students heal, overcome, and grow. With compassionate professional counselors available for both individual and group sessions, we address the emotional, social, and mental challenges students face today. Here, students find a safe space to express themselves, process their experiences, and build resilience.

housing

Our housing program provides a segment of our students with a safe and supportive family-centric home. Our Girls and Boys Houses are supported by caring housing professionals. These homes provide students with nutritious meals, a structured program, and the environment needed to focus on their education and future goals. This program extends beyond the classroom creating a sense of community and togetherness that helps guide and empower students on their path to success.
