EPIC Academy believes that every student can grow, learn, achieve and lead.
Several years ago, five teachers met at a coffee shop to imagine the perfect
high school.
 
They were all veterans of urban education. They understood the challenges
faced by young men and women coming of age in an underserved community, and the
supports they needed to overcome a legacy of discrimination.

 Most of all, they understood that these students weren’t suffering from a
lack of ability, but from a lack of belief---the belief that they had a place in
our 21st century economy, and that whatever obstacles they faced were
surmountable if they dedicated themselves to finding the way to a better future
for themselves and their community.

 That coffee shop was the birthplace of EPIC Academy. We believe that every
student can grow, learn, achieve and lead. We dare our students to imagine, and
we prepare them to succeed.

 And the great thing is---they DO succeed. Over 90% of the students in our
first graduating class were accepted to a 4-year college---and this in a
neighborhood where 84% of the adults do not have a college degree.

 If you believe as we do---that all of our children are entitled to a great
education and the confidence to join in the great American experiment---then you
belong at EPIC Academy.
