Management

Advanced Academics, Inc., headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has a proven track record in partnering with schools throughout the nation to deliver web-based course instruction with highly qualified teachers through a proprietary technology platform specifically designed for secondary education.  The company was founded by educators and its mission is to partner with schools to help more students graduate.   Our products and services are usually bundled and sold to schools or school districts as a complete end-to-end online learning solution for grades 7-12.  The only resource the school needs to provide is an administrator to coordinate the program and approve student enrollments.

Advanced Academics can also unbundle and customize an online learning program based on individual school or district needs. For example, if a school district wants to use their own teachers for the online program, we will provide the Learning Management System/Technology Platform and the courses. We will then train the teachers how to teach online. For the most ambitious schools we can simply provide the Learning Management System/Technology Platform, enabling school staff to create their own content and teach their own courses. A big part of the value we bring to schools is the expertise of creating a successful online program.

In fact, one of Advanced Academics’ strengths is in creating a customized private label online high school. The process begins by understanding the customer’s needs and then deploying the appropriate mix of products and services. We provide comprehensive services including website/portal development and hosting, school branding, enrollment marketing to recruit students into the program, counseling services as well as all the components of the end-to-end solution (technology, content, teaching, 24/7 support).

Since its inception, Advanced Academics has implemented online learning programs in more than 300 schools across 27 states. We have taught approximately 40,000 courses to more than 15,000 students. Our products and services provide schools with the capability to extend their reach by serving students at lower costs, improving at-risk student performance, expanding curriculum offerings, improving student retention and relieving pressure to perform under local and federal accountability standards. In addition to serving full time students, many schools use our program for students that may be missing credits or that simply have scheduling conflicts. Advanced Academics has been particularly successful in “drop-out recovery” efforts with school districts. Many of these students would not have been able to get back on track and earn a high school diploma had it not been for our online programs.

In 2002, the Company received regional accreditation as a diploma-granting institution from the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation (NCA) and national accreditation from the Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA). We gained these accreditations in order to validate our process. Our strategy is not to replace or compete with schools, but to enable them to serve more students. In addition to NCA/CITA, the company’s products and services have been reviewed and approved by a number of state education agencies.
