Phoenix Academy Is A Community Asset.
Educational opportunity is an important asset in the competition to attract employers
and families to the Toledo area. At a time when many American communities are
suffering from failing schools, Phoenix Academy with its state-of-the-art NovaNET
digital curriculum is a pacesetter in secondary education.
 Phoenix
Academy is nationally recognized as a leader in the breakthrough field of digital
learning and has become a trusted educational resource for students from many
districts in Ohio.
Chartered by Toledo Public Schools, Phoenix Academy offers students at every proficiency level the opportunity to take charge of their education.
Opportunity For
Toledo's
Best Students
Highly-motivated students can put their education on the fast track, complete
high school early and move on to post-secondary education ahead of their class.
Our unique digital learning program - fully accredited by the State of Ohio and
respected by educational professionals nationwide - lets
gifted students move forward at their own pace completing advanced coursework
24/7 in the classroom and during independent study.
At the same time, our curriculum protects these ambitious students from setbacks in their plans. Our students can't overshoot their mark because the NovaNET curriculum ensures that they completely understand each module before they move to the next level.
A Safety Net for Those Who Need One
On the other side of the coin, Phoenix offers students challenged by any number
of educational and life issues an alternative path to graduation. Students succeed
at Phoenix Academy despite scheduling problems, special needs, or family matters.
Other students who have become frustrated in the traditional classroom environment
due to disengagement with their local school, psychological vulnerability or
behavior issues also find success in our program. High school dropouts, who
are committed to completing their education, can earn their high school diploma
at a comfortable pace despite the demands of work and family.
The prerequisite for success at Phoenix Academy is motivation – a personal
commitment to achieving one's educational goals.
The Magic of Digital Learning
Rather than grade-level groupings, Phoenix Academy issues credits based on assessed
competency through NovaNET, the Pearson Digital Learning program. The result
of 40 years of research and development, NovaNET is a comprehensive, interactive
curriculum.
Under the guidance of a certified teacher, each incoming student creates an individualized
curriculum that meets the student's unique needs. NovaNET's extensive alignment
with state and national standards and standardized tests lets Phoenix Academy
provide a customized program of study for each student while ensuring accountability.
An Approach That Promotes Success
Classes are comprised of modules, which are similar to textbook chapters. Lessons
are assigned to students based upon their performance on a pretest, which shows
mastery of the course material. After lessons are completed, students immediately
advance to the next module after they prove mastery of the completed module by
passing a test. To earn a high school credit, all modules must be completed in
a class section. A final exam is followed by completion verification with the
teacher and a grade assigned.
Credits can be earned at a comfortable pace — fast or slow — depending
on the student's individual needs.
Flexible Scheduling Is Our Hallmark.
In addition to our main location in Uptown Toledo, three fully-staffed
neighborhood Credit Recovery and Outreach Centers are available during convenient
hours. These study labs are located on Alexis Road, McCord
Road, and Varland Avenue.
