Accelerated Schools of Overland Park
Accelerated Schools of Overland Park is a nonprofit private school in Johnson County for students in grades four through twelve. The full-day program accepts applications throughout the year and also offers summer school. Students come from across the Kansas City area with a range of academic needs; the school serves gifted, average, and learning-challenged learners. Instruction moves at an individual pace, and schedules can change when a student needs a different mix of classes. The published student-to-teacher ratio is 7:1. Executive function is part of the school day: teachers set clear expectations for completed classwork, give realistic homework, and send daily report cards so students and parents can follow academics and behavior. A licensed counseling team meets with students individually and runs Pathways small groups on mental health topics. Two certified therapy dogs spend time at school, and Friday activity clubs and field trips give students ways to connect outside class. Juniors and seniors can work with the College and Career Program as they plan their next steps. Families can schedule an in-person visit to learn how the approach would fit their student.
