Located within the Orlando International Premium Outlets, the school is designed as a non-traditional learning environment aimed at students who may be at risk of dropping out or who thrive better in a smaller, personalized setting compared to a large, comprehensive high school.

The academy focuses on credit recovery and individualized instruction, allowing students to work at their own pace to meet graduation requirements. By leveraging a community-based location, the program provides a supportive atmosphere that helps students overcome barriers to education. The partnership reflects a commitment to keeping students engaged and on track for a high school diploma by providing flexible scheduling and a tailored academic experience that fosters both personal and educational success.
