Dear Parents,

Welcome to Broadway Academy’s newest location! We opened our doors in August 2020 to provide a safe, secure learning environment for K-8 students in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Cleveland.

Since joining Broadway Academy over two years ago, it has been my pleasure to serve the community by building a private school-like environment at no cost to families. Our school has an A-rated and accredited academic program that is supplemented by truly enriching opportunities for students such as Visual & Performing Arts classes and out-of-state field trips. We are known for our “old school” values such as dignity and respect–not just between students, but also among our staff and parents. Our staff is dedicated and invested, and we believe that strong staff and family relationships are crucial for academic success.

Thank you for choosing Broadway Academy!

 

Sincerely,
Mrs. Sherree Dillions
