This is our second year at UA and we love it!

I agree that everybody will not be happy in any situation. UA is a decent school. Where UA is handicapped is the level of comfidience of the staff to be able to communicate with the parents. Not all but in a great deal of issues that I had with my son's teachers, the teachers were reluctant and defensive.

I just wish the atmosphere was more welcoming to all parents. You don't have to please everybody but you should at least make all parents feel that you are listening. Read less

My kids have been at Union Academy since 2000 when the school first started, and I wouldn't have them anywhere else. I think some of the negative reviews are not surprising, since we are a school of choice and will always have some families who weren't happy with their previous school, not happy with

The school truly has the potential to be a good one. However, unless the Headmaster addresses the issues directly that parents have with the teachers, the students will have trouble reaching their true potential. He is very careful not to upset his staff. I guess it is easier to confront the parents

Maybe additional workshops for the teachers would be a good use of their money to better the school. More training in dealing with students that may not look like their world or training in keeping a cool head. Some of their behavior can really make a child feel less than others. Once training is taken and enforced, the school could really progress. Their 2006 scores in math really dropped. Read less

My daughter has been in the school since the first day that the doors opened, and my family has been very happy with the experience.

Academically, she is being challenged to rise to her potential and is taking honors and AP courses in high school. Because of the small size, she has had the opportunity to take leadership roles and participate in a variety of after-school activities including athletics. She may not have had some of these opportunities at a larger school. We are proud that she will be in the first class graduating from Union Academy. Read less

I have had an issue that I brought to the headmaster's attention, and I found genuine concern, assistance and not once did I feel like I was invisible, that my opinion did not count.

The headmaster will be friendly at first but once you have an issue to arise with he or his assistant, you are treated differently. There is a great opportunity for good academics if your child is given the opportunity.
