Mission Statement

Eagle Academy encourages academic excellence by integrating proven instructional methods with a challenging curriculum and high expectations. This combination provides every child with the foundation needed to achieve proficiency in Eagle Academy’s performance standards at each instructional level.

What we believe about Curriculum & Instruction

Our staff is dedicated to working hands-on with our students. By teaching an advanced curriculum, and customizing each child's education, we are better able to prepare our future leaders of the world.  Students receive language arts and math instruction at their specific achievement level; that is, students who demonstrate mastery in one subject can be advanced to the next level. Students who need additional help are assisted individually.

We teach using Direct Teaching Instruction, which is a method where the teacher leads the students in a carefully constructed step-by-step lesson.  Teachers set clear lesson goals and make sure students have frequent opportunities to practice the new skill. 

An advanced curriculum leads to advanced students.
