School Overview

Acceleration East, located in Orlando, Florida, is an alternative high school within the Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) district. The school is specifically designed to support students who are credit-deficient or who have struggled in a traditional comprehensive high school environment. By providing a smaller, more focused setting, the school aims to help students recover necessary credits, improve their academic performance, and stay on track for graduation.

The school’s curriculum and culture are built around the concept of "acceleration," offering flexible scheduling and individualized learning paths to help students reach their academic goals more quickly. Because it operates as an alternative program, Acceleration East emphasizes personalized attention, smaller class sizes, and a supportive atmosphere that prioritizes social-emotional growth alongside academic achievement. The ultimate mission of the school is to re-engage students in their education and ensure they earn their high school diploma and become college or career ready.
