Fusion Academy is a revolutionary, accredited private middle and high school. Our classes are one-to-one: one student and one teacher per classroom, offering a truly individualized education for students in grades 6-12. Fusion Academy has campuses across the United States, is growing rapidly, and is the nationwide leader in one-to-one schooling.
Each and every student at Fusion is unique, and comes to us for different reasons, but one thing they have in common is that traditional school hasn't worked for them. They may be gifted or accelerated learners, need a flexible class schedule to work around extracurricular careers or interests, have a mild learning difference, or struggle with other social/emotional challenges. Teachers act as mentors and meet students where they are to build a foundation of trust, and personalize curriculum for each student's unique strengths, interests, and learning style.
Our education model is a unique academic program where students can start at any time of the year. Our campus environment is highly personal and socially inclusive. We understand that kids are more than their grades. That's why we also care about students' social and emotional we...ll-being. In addition to full-time enrollment, students may take a class for credit, or join us for tutoring/mentoring.
The Fusion culture offers a truly unique place to work, teach, and learn. Fusionites are creative, passionate, embrace change, and have fun! They communicate honestly and with compassion to both students and colleagues. People join the Fusion family for more than just a paycheck; they seek to work with peers who share these values. And because Fusion is growing rapidly, we offer considerable opportunity for career advancement throughout the country.
