Academies of Excellence
   
History
Academies of Excellence, Inc. evolved out of a 6.5 million dollar Federal Technology Challenge Grant.  Strategies for effective teaching and learning, based on research based best practices of instruction, serve as the foundation for each school developed by the Academies.  Through innovative uses of teaching with technology, the Academies were formed to allow parents additional choices for their children that aren't meeting success currently or for students seeking an alternative learning environment.  
The core philosophy of Academies of Excellence is that students who are provided an educational environment that is technologically rich, educationally sound, and individually guided; and who are instilled with strong values that encourage positive community involvement, and a commitment to lifelong learning, will be productive citizens and ready to achieve at advanced levels in high school. Research has documented that a small school environment is a significant contributor to students’ success.

 

What We Believe
 
All students can learn, but not all learn the same way. Small schools offer students a more comfortable learning environment.  
           
Every child deserves an individual learning plan for guidance. Teachers are the heart and soul of a school, and the molders and shapers of children.  
           
Parents and community  members are key components of education. Technology tools, when combined with rigorous academics, enhance the learning experience.
