About Urban Village Academy

UVA provides a high quality, engaging educational experience meant to ignite a child’s desire to learn and enhance their potential. As teachers, the priority in our classroom is the students physical and mental wellbeing, social and emotional skills, and interest in learning. We believe that comprehension truly happens when the students are engaged and feel excited about learning. While this can be done through a variety of ways, we find inquiry-based and experiential learning opportunities to be most effective. By taking the interests of our students and integrating them into the curriculum, we are able to give students the chance to connect to what is relevant to them, creating a more memorable learning experience. Our ultimate goal is to guide our students to a passionate, creative, curious and life-long love of learning.

Bulldog Kids supports the development of children while utilizing play to stimulate learning. We are united in our belief that children who are taught to enjoy learning, who are led with passion and who are encouraged to be themselves will grow up to be the kind of leaders future generations could look up to. We have built a safe place for children to explore learning, to push themselves academically and to develop their social skills. A vibrant and positive work environment where open communication, collaboration and passion are evident. Children are valued for their uniqueness and their development is our main focus.
