Founded in 2006, Noble Academy Euclid is a non-selective public charter school for about 425 students in kindergarten through 8th grade. Our curriculum is STEM-focused and college preparatory, and we offer advanced classes alongside grade-level work. We are managed by Concept Schools, a charter management organization that has supported schools across the Midwest since 1999 and now works with more than 40 of them. Concept provides our curriculum aligned with Common Core and Ohio standards, and students take formative assessments every six to nine weeks that teachers use to guide instruction. After the school day, students can stay for study hall and the tutoring club or join music clubs in percussion and piano. Admission starts with a simple application that asks nothing about academic background or special needs; when applications outnumber seats, we hold a public lottery by grade level with sibling preference. Students wear uniforms, and families can apply for transportation.

Our Euclid school serves pre-K through eighth grade in a faith-centered learning community. We welcome Catholic and non-Catholic students from Euclid and the surrounding Cleveland area. At Our Lady of the Lake, academics and participation in parish and school life are part of the educational experience. Families take part in school activities and community gatherings. Our staff and volunteers who work with students undergo background screening. We have served local children for more than ninety years.
