Our Mission
At Metro East Web Academy, we care about the whole child. We believe all children should have access to receive a great education, while also understanding that our children need to feel well socially and emotionally to be able to succeed academically. Where the classic ‘reading, writing, and arithmetic’ are the meat and potatoes of a robust education, social and emotional learning is the seasoning.
At MEWA, we follow all Oregon state educational guidelines, while taking it a step further and incorporating material to help build confidence, resilience, and success. Lessons about things like tackling stress, managing anxiety, building healthy relationships, self-advocacy, and understanding the perspectives of others are incorporated into homeroom lessons taught by our school counselors.
No two children learn in the same way or thrive best in the same environment. Here at MEWA, our mission is to provide multiple pathways for student success while breaking down educational barriers to help create equity, opportunities, and success for students with a diverse range of needs.
