For more than 30 years, concerned parents have turned to Accelerated Schools, a private accredited school, for individualized learning programs that help students overcome challenges and excel academically.

If your student is facing problems in school, “excelling” may seem entirely out of reach. Rest assured, it’s not.

The fact is, the traditional school system is not designed to meet the needs of every child. When the student is not being successful – or is not thriving in the traditional environment – parents must often look elsewhere for a solution.

That’s where Accelerated Schools of Overland Park comes in.

We begin by creating a learning program designed specifically for your student. We work to change the ratio of success to failure…to cultivate and environment of accountability…to create attainable goals and to celebrate accomplishments.

Once students start experiencing success, their attitude, motivation and effort improve dramatically. This ends the negative cycle and leads to positive academic progress and a more positive self-esteem. I hope you’ll take a few minutes view our website and to read more about our approach.

Graduation 2013

On Thursday, May 16, eleven seniors will graduate from the Accelerated Schools of Overland Park (ASOP): Jacob Feltman, Joseph Grimsley, Matthew Kosta, Mary Kovzan, Mallory McCoy, Michael Mesley, Brynne Morris, Tyler Netter, Aaron Smith, Alec Thompson, and Conner Trost.

The commencement speaker this year will be Judge Dennis Dow, a United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Western District of Missouri. Judge Dow previously was a partner with the firm of Shook, Hardy & Bacon and is a fellow of the American College of Bankruptcy. He is the chair of the Bankruptcy Judge Education Advisory Committee of the Federal Judicial Center and a member of the faculty of the Advanced Consumer Bankruptcy Practice Institute.

The Senior Class Speaker is Conner Trost.

This senior class is special for several reasons. For the first time, the ASOP students, along with English teacher, Linda, published a yearbook, Blueprint, which was distributed to all students in early May. Also, this year saw the retirement of long-time principal Jim Neihart and the arrival of new principal Sara Tate Goldstein. Finally, students this year experienced a new field trip schedule along with added drama classes.

Congratulations to all the students who graduate this year!
