Accelere
Accelere is part of Multiple Pathways, an alternative education program.
Accelere provides an opportunity for students who are disengaged or at risk of becoming disengaged from their traditional high school programs, to complete high school graduation requirements and earn a high school diploma.
Our Motto
Focus. Finish. Move Beyond.
Our Vision
To empower students to overcome limiting beliefs, turn setbacks into strengths and reimagine their future.
Our Mission
To empower students through strong relationships, fostering meaningful, high-quality learning that they value and can apply to real-world experiences.
Our Collective Committments
Created collaboratively by staff to strengthen instruction and enhance the student experience, are:
- Teacher Collective Commitment: We will design lessons that require students to read, write, speak, and/or reason every day.
- Student Collective Commitment: Students will engage in guided practice before being asked to work independently.
- Task Collective Commitment: Task will require students to think, reason, and make meaning.
Our Students
Typical students served are ages 17-21 and were unable to complete the 48 required credits for graduation within 4 years with their cohort.
Our Schedule
Classes are offered in an intensive course format with teacher-led classes being taught in "terms". Six terms are offered during the regular school year with one additional term during the summer. Four blocks are available each day, two in the morning and two in the afternoon. Students may take one to four classes per term.
Because this is an accelerated program, daily attendance is required to earn credits.
