About
ACCEL Schools transforms education and brings new opportunities to students and families of all backgrounds. Founded in 2014, ACCEL Schools is a K-12 public charter school management organization (CMO) and operates over 90 high-performing charter schools and 15 online schools primarily in Ohio and other states. Our mission is to improve academic outcomes regardless of geographic location or socioeconomic factors. We partner with communities to create safe and supportive learning environments through a comprehensive set of educational practices tailored to unique student needs. We believe in creating successful schools one child at a time. Our approach is rooted in personalization, ensuring that each student benefits from individualized instruction and support. With some of the most successful schools in our network, we utilize the ACCEL Instructional Model (AIM) which emphasizes individualized learning, extended time on task, and competency-based assessments. Additionally, our robust technology enhances engagement and academic outcomes and prepares students for a future where they become productive global citizens. We are proud to champion education reform and advocate for school choice to address educational inequities across the nation.
