Apex Academy is a tuition-free public charter school in E. Cleveland serving students in grades K-8. We shape instruction to build on the strengths and abilities of each student and integrate Moral Focus™ lessons into every school day. As a result, our students are well-prepared from kindergarten through eighth grade. A Stanford University study found National Heritage Academies partner-school students gained the equivalent of 3.5 months of additional learning each year compared to peers.

Apex Parent
I've been an Apex Academy parent for over a decade. To see what attracted me to the school back when my oldest child started to how much the school atmosphere and staff has evolved, is amazing. I'm glad to be a part of it.
