union academy
London
Union Academy is a K-12 tuition-free NC public charter school. Admission is
lottery based and is open to any school-aged student in North Carolina. Please
see our Admissions page for more information about the lottery process. To
define what makes Union Academy an important place to so many is not an easy
task. It may have been the special spirit of starting a new venture that so many
experienced in the spring and summer of 2000. Or it may be the challenge of
being a part of helping to make everything happen on a daily basis. Or it may be
the spirit of collaboration and trust that has become ever so apparent as the
school has developed. One thing is for certain, UA is a special place because it
is populated by special people. One of our UA Board members put it this way,
“The spirit of Union Academy is embodied in people who are willing to do
whatever needs to be done.” That spirit of collaboration and selflessness
together with an extraordinary emphasis on academic challenge, community
service, and the development of strong character certainly defines UA.
