Our Academic Accreditation

Our approach to education isn’t just flexible, it’s backed by Cognia, the world leader in providing improvement and accreditation services to educational providers. Our Cognia accreditation means that students receive a high-quality, nationally-recognized education. Plus, students that attend an accredited school gain greater access to federal loans, scholarships, post-secondary education and military programs.

Preparing You For The Future

Our model helps to provide students with a Career and Life Coach who works one-on-one with them to explore and select the right post-graduate career path. We prepare our graduates for internships, college, military service, skilled trades, well-paying jobs, and more! Students can also participate in relevant, hands-on, and engaging Career and Technical Education programs coordinated by their Career & Life coach. In these programs, students can earn industry certifications, gain real-world experience, and graduate confidently knowing their next steps toward a successful life.

Two Students at Miami-Dade Acceleration Academies

Everybody cares about the students here, and the students here care about the staff. Some people don’t get that kind of love in their own household.

Miami-Dade Acceleration Academies is different from traditional school. I like that I can have one class at a time and take it at my own pace. It’s less stressful.

Miami-Dade Acceleration Academies Student Thrives with Support From Teachers

Miami-Dade Acceleration Academies gave me space to grow — not only academically, but I had space to figure out what I wanted and who I wanted to be. I think that's why this school worked so well, because I'm one who takes my time thinking about what I want. For young adults that are in the LGBTQ community, there is a safe space to go to school and it's Acceleration Academies.
