Acceleration Academies

Acceleration Academies (“AA”) partners with public school districts to support students who face challenges that prevent them from succeeding in conventional school environments.

AA offers a combination of in-person and online teaching designed to meet the needs of students who cannot attend school five days a week on a fixed schedule. By enrolling students, AA’s revenue-sharing model also enables school districts to avoid losing funding.

• AA is a leader in re-engagement education, a part of the market that is underdeveloped but growing, with consistent demand driven by public policy and social need.
• AA has long-term contracts with school districts that have been renewed many times, showing that its services are valued.
• The investment came at a key moment in AA’s growth trajectory, with clear opportunities to expand and improve.
• Excolere Equity Partners’ leadership team has a strong track record of successful private equity investments in the education sector, and excellent relationships with key decision-makers (e.g. school superintendents and boards).

• Merging with EdIncites and integrating their digital tools for teaching and learning to offer more personalised and effective education.
• Expanding reach to US school districts with large numbers of students who need alternative education options.
• Actively connecting with school districts to explain the benefits of AA’s model and encourage them to sign up to the partnership.
• Creating better outcomes by helping students graduate and continue on to further education or careers.
