Pinnacle Private Academy and Virtual School - A private year-round college prep school for grades 6 - 12. The Academy provides an accredited, comprehensive online academic program for any student who wants a more flexible learning schedule. Some of our students have struggled with distractions in a traditional classroom. Some have fallen behind in credits or might struggle with learning differences. Others simply prefer the flexibility of an online education.

Students can sign up one class, one semester, or complete their high school requirements and graduate through the The Pinnacle Schools which is accredited by Cognia (formerly AdvancED/SACS). Upon enrollment, students receive the following services so that an individualized learning plan can be developed:

· Comprehensive diagnostic assessment that helps determine student's proficiencies and areas that require remediation
· Credit evaluation
· Academic counseling
· College and career counseling

Pinnacle provides students with core classes and electives, and most importantly, support from qualified instructors. Many online programs simply make the curriculum available for students to navigate on their own. Tutoring and proctoring are additional expenses. Pinnacle supports its students by providing teachers who have extensive experience with online curriculums and proctors to oversee testing. These services are included in our monthly fee of $450.

Pinnacle follows the Alabama High School Course of Study. Our specialists will help your student plan his or her high school classes to fulfill the requirements for graduation.
