Fusion Academy is a private alternative school[1] for grades 6–12. All classes are taught with one student and one teacher per classroom. Students generally complete all schoolwork on campus.[2]
Fusion Academy was founded in 1989 by Michelle Rose Gilman,[3] as an after-school tutoring program in her garage in Solana Beach, California. The company began to offer a full-time curriculum in 2001. In 2009, the company opened its second campus in Los Angeles. In 2011, Inc. Magazine included Fusion Academy in its annual Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies, the second time the company had made the list.[4]
Campusesedit
Fusion Academy operates 80 campuses across the United States.[5] In January 2021, the teachers at the Brooklyn Fusion Academy campus officially joined New York City's United Federation of Teachers, making that school the second Fusion Academy to successfully unionize.[6] In 2019, Fusion Academy acquired Futures Academy.[7]
Fusion Academy offers compassion and tolerance education, staff mentoring,[1] tutoring, organizational and homework assistance, and support in areas such as time management, preparation for high school entrance, SAT, ACT, GED exams, college applications, and career planning.[10] Each Fusion Academy location is run by a Head Of School such as Headmaster Mike Wang, Head of School of Fusion Academy Oak Brook.[11]
