Founded in 2014, Acceleration Academies is a national leader in re-engaging young adults not experiencing success in a traditional high school setting. We partner with school districts across the U.S. to offer dropout recovery and re-engagement services, credit recovery, and a flexible personalized alternative for students (and former students) to earn a customary district issued high school diploma. We offer in-person and online options so that students can work anytime from anywhere, plus a social and emotional support system to remove impediments that have caused students to struggle in a traditional setting. Our research-based program is currently supporting over 5,000 students in partnership with school districts in eight states.

Now, in less than 18 months, Julius is wrapping up his last class and preparing to graduate. He says, “They gave me hope.”

We know that one-size-fits-all doesn’t work in education. That’s why we design personalized learning plans for every student — aligning academic requirements with their unique strengths, life circumstances and goals. This model not only re-engages students who may have struggled in traditional settings, but also helps districts meet accountability goals and communities build a stronger, more skilled workforce. 📈 The result: higher graduation rates, more prepared graduates and brighter futures for students who were once at risk of being left behind. #EducationInnovation #AccelerationAcademies #AlternativeEducation #AltEd
