BERWYN EAST ACADEMY

Berwyn East Academy is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Eastland Preparatory Academy school district, located in Columbus, OH with about 158 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, Berwyn East Academy has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Berwyn East Academy, located in Columbus, Ohio, is a specialized educational institution focused on serving students in grades K–8 who face significant social, emotional, and behavioral challenges.

The academy’s philosophy centers on creating a supportive atmosphere where students can develop the coping mechanisms and social skills necessary to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. By maintaining small class sizes and employing a multidisciplinary team of educators and behavioral specialists, Berwyn East Academy aims to foster a sense of stability and academic progress for its student body.
