Eastside Academy

Change happens here! Eastside Academy became an independent non-profit in 2001 when the school was relocated from Seattle to the Eastside.

A handful of teachers knocked on doors, and Bellevue Presbyterian Church opened their space and hearts to EA. Since that time, we’ve offered education and comprehensive services to families at a sliding scale of affordability. Here they receive academic support, addiction recovery, mental health counseling, and mentor relationships. We also operate two residential homes for youth who need shelter

and stability. Since most of our students come from poverty and low-income households, youth attend our program at a sliding-scale cost that is made affordable to their family. This unique model of care has enabled hundreds of teens to graduate from high school and make transformative changes to their lives. Our graduation rate is over 90%, and our students have successfully gone on to college, vocational programs, and careers. Many of our alumni continue to be served by EA through scholarships, tutoring, counseling, career guidance, and more.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and at Eastside Academy, we understand that supporting students’ mental and emotional well-being is essential to their overall success.

Research is clear: when students get the emotional and mental health support they need, they thrive in school. A 2024 study in Journal of Adolescent Health found that students with access to school wellness centers had lower anxiety and depression and higher test scores. Another 2024 study showed that teens who participated in school-based mental health services not only improved in math, but also had better attendance and fewer suspensions. And students who saw reduced depressive symptoms through school-based interventions? They performed better academically—regardless of the specific supports received.

At Eastside Academy, this isn’t theory—it’s what we see every day. With access to weekly counseling, group therapy, and classes dedicated to mental health and personal growth, our students are supported emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. When healing happens, learning follows.

Join us in celebrating seven incredible young people—the Eastside Academy Class of 2025 seniors—who have all been accepted into college!

Every one of these students carries a story of resilience, growth, and unwavering determination. They’ve faced challenges with courage, leaned into their community, and shown up—day after day—ready to learn, to heal, and to rise.

Some of them once doubted if college was even possible. Today, they’re holding acceptance letters and walking into the next chapter of their stories with heads high and hearts full.

This isn’t just about college—it’s about hope. It’s about what happens when students are told they matter, when they’re believed in, and when they start to believe in themselves.

To our seven seniors: You are bold, brilliant, and created to be different. We are SO proud of you—and we can’t wait to see all the beauty and impact you bring to the world.

Let’s cheer them on as they step into the future they’ve worked so hard for. This is only the beginning. 💫

🌟 Meet Liz: A Teacher Who Listens 🌟

"Students want to be listened to. They want someone to hear them crying out. They crave a relationship that matters beyond the learning experience." – Liz, EA Teacher

At Eastside Academy, Liz isn’t just teaching—she’s building lifelong connections that help students believe in themselves. She knows that a simple “Good morning” or “Tell me more about that” can change a student’s entire day.

Because of teachers like Liz, students don’t just learn—they grow, heal, and find hope for their future. 💙

🌱 “I want to do and be better. That hope gives me purpose. Before, I used to not think about anything but what was right in front of me. Now, I just want to do better.” – Ben, EA Graduate

When Ben first walked through our doors, he wasn’t sure what his future looked like. But because of teachers who cared and donors who believed in him, he found his purpose. Today, he’s in college and working toward a future he never imagined possible.

You can plant seeds of hope for students like Ben. Become a monthly donor today and help students grow into the people they’re meant to be.
