 In the last 3 consecutive years, The Edge Academy has earned many of the top scores in Akron on the Ohio Achievement Test. Last year a student earned national recognition for a science project created during school. Over summer, The Edge Academy showed its support to our veteran community by assisting with the "Field of Honor" by facilitating the construction of 2000 flags. The Edge Academy supports foster parents and children by facilitating monthly meetings dealing with parent and child education.
The Edge Academy is a Kindergarten through 6th grade charter school serving the Akron community. The Edge Academy was founded by David and Susan Dudas. They felt the public education policies were failing and wanted to make a difference.
We at The Edge Academy believe in shaping the future through our children. Only through education can we make tomorrow a better place. We are a safe, caring, learning environment. Parents can trust that their child will be provided a quality education. A place of diversity. A place of devotion to the leaders of tomorrow.
Come see "The Edge" difference and find out why choice matters! |

Miss McCoul's First Grade Class did a Holiday Card Exchange this year. They made 25 cards and sent them to participating schools all over the Country. The cards were sent to classes in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and New York. They received cards back from the schools they sent cards to.
The children had a lot of fun receiving mail from all the different classes and learning about the states they came from.

Look What's Shining Bright at The Edge Academy |

 Our fifth graders have been lighting up the building with their electricity projects. Each student has applied what they've learned about electricity by creating their very own circuit boards. These circuit boards make great studying tools, because they light up when students match the correct answers. Our fifth graders are really bright!

The 4th graders perform a new twist on an old tale. |
|
|
|
|
The fourth graders have finished reading a play titled “Red Writing Hood”. In this play, Red Riding Hood does not like the way the original fairy tales are written. So she decides to make some changes.
She changes the wolf into a ballerina. Little Miss Muffet gets a prince instead of a spider. Little Bo Peep now has 50 sheep. She writes Goldilocks into a bear. Finally, she gives Cinderella two princes. Then the FBI (Fairytale Believers Inc.) gets involved.
The FBI comes along and stops all the confusion and returns the Fairy Tales back to their original versions.
In addition to reading this great book, the 4th graders performed the play for the kindergarten students. They had much fun performing and practicing the play.
