Acceleration Academies Wichita, Kansas, United States

At Acceleration Academies, we believe in transforming the lives of students who have disengaged from traditional schooling to achieve their high school diploma through personalized, flexible learning and innovative educational practices. We empower young adults to earn their high school diploma tuition‑free and partner with school districts nationwide to support dropout recovery and student re‑engagement programs.

We are hiring certified Teachers across content areas and academy locations. If you hold a valid 6–12 or 9–12 teaching certification in Math, English, Social Studies, Special Education, or Science, we want to hear from you.
