Alle-Kiski Academy of Excellence

Pennsylvania's proud tradition of educational excellence prepares students for their future.  The definition of student success is changing and has caused the region to examine all educational options offered to families.  Post-secondary and continuing education programs have trended towards online learning as an option for their instructional approaches. Following educational trends to provide our families with a Virtual Learning option, the Alle-Kiski Academy of Excellence (AKAE) was born to provide a high-quality, personalized, flexible, and locally-driven student experience accommodating learning styles and needs. 

Regional school districts have collaboratively committed to developing an innovative educational approach to teaching and learning that blends in-person and virtual instruction with student learning.  This innovative approach embodies a flexible option for education to our families and a guaranteed, viable curriculum for students.  A multi-district collaboration provides best teaching practices among the staff as they operate within our region's Professional Learning Communities (PLC). The design and implementation of PLCs are paramount to ensure students are equitably reaching and surpassing their learning capacity. The AKAE serves families from kindergarten through 8th grade and is set to expand to meet our regional needs.
