Accelerated Schools provides our students with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to exceed educational expectations. We work hard to ensure we are meeting each student where they are at and providing guidance and support to help them achieve THEIR goals. We work with parents on putting those goals in motion but ultimately it comes down to the student themselves and that is who we focus on. We offer core high school classes such as Science, Math, and Social Studies but we also have great electives like gardening (weather permitting), weight training, art, music, cooking class, and Korean to name a few.With our individualized academic counseling and advising from knowledgable enrollment counselors, bi-weekly educational activities/field trips, and unique educational programs, our students are set up for success from day one!
