THE GEO ACADEMIES MISSION is to EMPOWER students to ACCELERATE their academic pathways to ADVANCE their social mobility and ACHIEVE their career and life-long goals.
The GEO Academies Model
GEO's model is a student-centered, content-rich K-12 education model that provides a personalized and competency-based approach to learning necessary to close achievement gaps beginning in elementary schools, ensuring middle school students are on at least high school grade level by the summer before 9th grade, and ultimately preparing low-income students to begin college coursework on college campuses as early as 9th grade. By providing an accelerated pathway to college, beginning in kindergarten, GEO schools hope to break the cycle of poverty that is prevalent in the families and communities of the students we serve.
GEO Academies, powered by GEO Foundation, is a non-profit organization founded in 1998 focused on breaking the cycle of poverty by providing access to exceptional, non-traditional educational opportunities to all families. GEO Academies gets results that matter to our families, taxpayers, employers, and our nation as a whole. We eliminate high school dropout rates by making high school relevant to our students. We improve college-going rates by providing our students with a real college experience while in our high schools. [Read More...]
