About The Company
Welcome to GEO Academies, where innovation meets educational excellence. We're dedicated to transforming students' educational journeys by implementing leading-edge methods that empower students to complete not only their high school diploma at rates higher than state-average, but to also earn an associate's or bachelor's degree while still in high school. GEO has built a student-personalized, content-rich K-12 educational framework that provides a skill-based approach to learning. Operating a network of eight charter schools in Indiana and Louisiana, we set the stage for a seamless, debt-free and successful transition into college and beyond for 3,800 predominantly African-American and low-income students. By providing an accelerated pathway to college, beginning in kindergarten, GEO schools hope to break the poverty cycle prevalent in the families and communities of the students we serve.
