Alternative Education
In ancient Greek folklore,
the PHOENIX
rises from the ashes of adversity to
regenerate itself.
At the Academy,
like the PHOENIX,
your child will soar.

Academy Students, grades 9 – 12, are required to attend in person until such time they prove they are able to make consistent daily progress.
Consistent daily progress: A student who completes all daily tasks on or before the due date.
If a student completes all weekly tasks prior to the end of the week, they may check out with an Academy Staff member, and will not be required to attend for the remainder of the week.
Students that consistently make daily and weekly progress may be granted permission to move to a remote educational setting. This student will still be required to check in daily through a pre-arranged agreement. Check-ins must occur before 10 am.
