Union Academy is a public K-12 charter school founded in 2000` UA was awarded the distinction of National School of Character and NC State School of Character in 2016 and again in 2021 and will hold this honor for five years` In 2018, UA earned a NC Performance Grade of A and was also recognized as a Top 10 Workplace in the Charlotte region in 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2020` UA earned the Healthiest Workplace from the Charlotte Business Journal in 2020` 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`
