An Independent Career and Technical Education Middle School

LEARN MORE

Urgent Academy is now open and enrolling 6th and 7th graders for this and next school year. Urgent Academy extends URGENT’s 30 legacy and marks an exciting chapter in our journey. The genesis of Urgent Academy was fueled by a compelling need to redefine educational paradigms. We recognized the growing gap between what traditional schools offer and what our students need – relevance, a sense of belonging, and platforms for expressing their unique selves. Urgent Academy was born out of the urgency to bridge this gap, to create a learning environment where creativity isn't just encouraged; it's the curriculum's cornerstone. 

TESTIMONIALS

"I just wanted to take the time to thank you. Every day my daughter comes home excited to share how her day at camp was, and she absolutely adores her camp counselors! From the arts and crafts projects, to the weekly

fieldtrips and water play, I know that she is enjoying her summer.”
