An Accelerated School is a school that commits itself to a philosophy and a process to improved student achievement and increase parent and community involvement. In carrying out the philosophy and process, members of the Accelerated Schools community - the principal, teachers, staff members, parents, students, district office personnel, and local community members - work together to make the school the best it can be so that all children will have the opportunity to be successful, productive members of society. By making changes in curriculum, instruction, and school organization, the Accelerated Schools community transforms the school in to a place where all students, especially those at risk of failing in the current system, excel at high levels regardless of their background.
