Mission

Breakthrough’s Citizens Academy is proud to be a long-standing elementary school in Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood. Our mission is to produce learners who exemplify academic excellence and responsible citizenship. Our vision is for every student to graduate from college and become a productive and civically engaged member of society. Our Citizenship Curriculum, an integral part of character development, is based upon seven virtues: Responsibility, respect, perseverance, honesty, generosity, courage, and loyalty. We celebrate students who exemplify the virtues in many ways, including Citizens of the Month assemblies throughout the year.

Special Programs

We believe every student can excel, no exceptions.
• Unique citizenship-based curriculum drives our school.
• Year-round Black History + Black Excellence curriculum.
• We believe 21st-century skills are essential; every student has a laptop and
technology is integrated into instruction, such as programming Lego robots.
• High academic and behavioral expectations are the foundation of our success.
• Each child’s individualized academic progress is tracked by a
“My Achievement Plan.”
• We offer multiple after-school programs and extracurricular activities.

They show facuoitism, and was always pointing out my son when the whole class would be acting out.They are unprofessional and tried to steal his belongings, plus let a student steal my son's Kindle . No control at all within the school period.

I know first hand that my child received an excellent foundation attending Citizens Academy in kindergarten. Once a strong academic foundation has been established your child is bound to thrive wherever they go. My child graduated in the 5th grade and attend a catholic school for middle school. I was amazed to learn from my child that she was being taught in middle school what she had learned in elementary. My child of course excelled, but it did require her middle school to give her more challenging work. She loved her elementary school, Citizens Academy. As a parent you only want them to be happy, have a quality education , and be the best person they can be.

My oldest daughter attended Citizens Academy when it was or Lamont and was in the inaugural class of CLA! Now her younger sister is following in her footsteps. Theses were great choices for my kids. I feel they are preparing them academically as well as teaching citizenship, perseverance and just to have a good attitude overall.

My school for my son has been a part of our lives for 5 years. The staff really shows compassion and they really care. They keep the parents informed at all times and they want the best for the students. They have a very high curriculum for the students. I give the school a very high rating.
