Metro East Web Academy (MEWA), located in Gresham, Oregon, is a public charter school that offers a flexible, online-based learning environment for students in grades 6–12. Operating as part of the Gresham-Barlow School District, the academy is designed for students who thrive outside of a traditional classroom setting, such as those who need a self-paced schedule, require a more personalized approach to education, or are seeking an alternative to the conventional school model.

The academy emphasizes a blend of independent online coursework and meaningful student-teacher engagement. While the primary delivery of instruction is digital, MEWA maintains a physical campus that serves as a hub for academic support, collaborative projects, and community building. By leveraging technology to remove traditional barriers to education, the school focuses on individual mastery and academic success, providing a versatile pathway for students to earn their diplomas while developing the self-discipline and digital literacy skills necessary for future college or career endeavors.
