Our History

An outdoor Bible Club at McKinley Park in Syracuse over the summer of 2002 attracted a group of children who formed the core group of a Bible Club that continued on at a local church throughout the school year.

Over the years, the club time evolved to include Tutoring Time, Life Skills Classes, Special Activities, Camp time, Specialty Camps and committed prayer partners. It became increasingly apparent that the more time spent with children, the greater the impact in their lives.

This led to discussion of starting a school where there would be opportunity to address all the components of life within a Biblically based setting, helping each child to reach his or her God given potential.

A school advisory board was formed and we became members of the Street School Network (a Christian organization that has helped to start 50 urban schools nationwide). As an incorporated non-profit organization, we have a committed Board of Directors to oversee our development.

Our Approach

Eagle Wings Academy opened its doors in September 2008 with students in 1st through 9th grades. We limit our enrollment to 20 students in order to enable much attention to be given to individual instruction. All of the required New York State courses are taught, in addition to Bible class, weekly Chapel, and Biblical Counseling.

Eagle Wings Academy has a formal presentation that you may schedule for viewing by your church, community organization, business, or small group.

Eagle Wings Academy exists to offer a Christ- centered, Biblically-based education to urban children.
Eagle Wings Academy will equip and support students to reach their God-given potential and break free from the cycle of generational and spiritual poverty.
Eagle Wings Academy admits students of any race, color, religion, national and ethnic origin and does not discriminate in administration of its educational policies and school administered programs.
