Adaptive Instructional Models

Well-Rounded Approach

The ACCEL Instructional Model (AIM) provides the foundation of academic achievement for all students. AIM has four key components to achieve strong academic results: individualized instruction, certified and licensed teachers, more time on task, and short cycle assessments.


Accel Schools are powered by the AMP/edu ecosystem, a unified, modern learning platform that strengthens classroom instruction and enhances every student’s learning experience. AMP brings together curriculum, tools, and resources in one cohesive system, helping teachers deliver engaging, consistent instruction and giving students confidence with a well-supported, high-quality education.

Our mission is to provide quality education, anywhere in the world, in the modality that best meets the needs of each student.
