The American Academy

The American Academy, founded in 2007, is an online high school offering a fully accredited educational experience aimed at meeting the individual needs of each student. Partnering with state agencies, school districts, and workforce boards, Graduation Alliance, the parent company, has successfully recruited, re-enrolled, educated, and mentored students, with The American Academy serving as an exemplary online high school accredited by the Northwest Accreditation Commission. The institution provides a rigorous curriculum aligned with national standards, offering over 100 online classes in various subjects, all led by state-licensed teachers. Notably, the flexibility of their courses enables students to take them at any time and from any location, catering to individual schedules and responsibilities. In July 2012, The American Academy received a $6.00M Series C investment from New Markets Venture Partners, signifying a recognition of the company's potential within the EdTech and Education industries. The investment enabled the institution to further its mission of revolutionizing American education while providing educational solutions ranging from individual courses for credit recovery and acceleration to a full diploma program. The company's commitment to social entrepreneurship and its consistent track record in facilitating student success, particularly for those balancing work and family responsibilities, underpin its credibility and potential for growth. With accreditation by Cognia, an organization overseeing the recognition and professional certification of numerous educational institutions globally, The American Academy stands as an impactful player in the evolving landscape of online education.
