A message from our Executive Director:

Yesterday's visit with Congresswoman Titus went very well. She was quite impressed with our educational style and spoke with a few of our students and two EKA graduates that happened to be on campus. After speaking with one student who was working on a nutrition project, the Congresswoman promised to send the student information on her new wellness bill. I received that information today and it was forwarded to the student's advisor. We spoke about the re-authorization of No Child Left Behind and the issues charter schools face as far as funding, testing and teacher certifications. We have invited her back to visit again to listen to some student presentations of learning. Hopefully, she will take us up on our offer.

I wanted to thank all the students at the Secondary campus for their manners and thoughtful questions. Though the Congresswoman's visit was short, I believe she saw the exceptional way Explore Knowledge Academy educates students, and it gave her some insight into charter schools that she did not have prior.

EKA currently has two vendors providing hot lunch at EKA:

For all grades K - 12: Lunch Crew Catering

The Lunch Crew Catering will be offering lunches to students in Kindergarten through twelfth grade. All lunches are nutritionally balanced and prepared daily. Students at the Sandhill and Community Lane campuses will be charged $2.50 and students at Whitney Mesa will be charged $4.00. Lunches require a 48 hour menu notice and must be ordered through the Lunch Crew Catering website. Note that at the time of the order, parents will be required to enter the student’s advisor.
