AccelerateU - Online Learning
We serve students of all abilities, in many situations-kids who are recovering credit, accelerating, traveling for various reasons (study abroad, sports, etc.), homebound, medically fragile, with special situations and with IEP's and 504 plans.
AccelerateU operates on a rolling enrollment system, and students can be enrolled at any time of the year!
**Please Note**
If you are a parent interested in enrolling your child into an online course, you must speak with your district's School Counselor. You may contact Mike Morone or Heather Stonecipher to find out more about our program, but all enrollments must come from your child's school district.
Data Privacy and Security

Below are websites that have been vetted by the Administrator of AccelerateU for their appropriateness in instruction and that the appropriate data privacy measures are in place.
