Assures that our students will be ready for the challenges of college or future employment
Allows our teachers to refine their teaching methods to meet individual students’ needs

Accreditation Review Highlights Black Mountain Academy’s Excellence

The recent accreditation review of Black Mountain Academy has revealed some impressive findings. Not only did the academy score above average, but two strengths stood out as particularly noteworthy.

Firstly, the academy has implemented collaborative frameworks that greatly benefit learners and staff. These frameworks help everyone understand what is expected of them and encourage cooperation, creating a positive atmosphere for learning.

Secondly, Black Mountain Academy empowers its students by giving them a voice and promoting accountability. This focus on student empowerment helps enhance their academic and non-academic skills, providing a well-rounded educational experience.

This supportive environment is key in helping students set and achieve their personal goals—vital steps toward their educational and career aspirations. Black Mountain Academy’s approaches are truly making a difference in equipping students for success in their futures.
