East Wake Academy, a private-charter school that has a students that range from K-12. That being said most students there practically grew up together. Relationships are here and those who didn't grow up together learn to build there own relationships, it was pretty easy. EWA is a school that I like because compared to any public school I wouldn't be the student I am today. I'm pretty sure if I wasn't at EWA I would feel like I wouldn't belong, maybe just a number. EWA pretty much let's students feel comfortable and really create bonds with not just the students but the teachers there. If I could change EWA I may consider adding classes, creating more sports that the students may like. Classes like expanding the language and art departments. Overall, even though I didn't attend EWA since Kindergarten I enjoyed my time here and am glad that I chose to come here.
My experience at East Wake Academy has been mixed all throughout my years. I first arrived in Kindergarten, so I will have been attending the school for 13 years! Throughout middle school I experienced a whole new building being built for the middle school students, unfortunately, I was only able to be apart of that for a semester until I started my freshman year. This school is truly a college prep school and the teachers and staff truly care about you and how you are doing in your classes, which means a lot. This school has a few different ways of handling things compared to other schools, we wear uniforms and have a dress code for all students. Since I have always been apart of this rule since kindergarten, I have yet to know a difference. It makes things easier and gives everyone kids a chance to be equal. Our school is very small compared to other schools. This has made it easier to connect with others and form lifelong friendships. This school has been more than amazing for me.
East Wake Academy is a K-12 public charter school located in Zebulon, NC. It has been in operation for over 25 years. Our family loves that the school is small enough to have a genuine community vibe but large enough to have a good variety of program, athletics, and other extra curricular activities. The staff and administrators truly care about the students and their families.
