The American Academy operates the NoDropouts program, partnering with school districts nationwide to locate and educate high school dropouts using online learning combined with local community support and advocacy. It was established in 2007 by co-founder Anthony Meyer and President Gregg Rosann. The company also manages a private, accredited, online high school focused on credit recovery for students of all ages in nearly every state and eight countries. The American Academy enrolls and educates students who cannot or will not attend traditional school, aiming to help at-risk youth continue their education and lead productive lives. Following the financing, the company intends to use the new capital to continue to expand and advance its NoDropouts program. The American Academy is an online high school and educational services provider offering more than 230 courses supported by state-licensed teachers. The company operates in 43 US states and 8 countries. It raised $5.9M in a Series B financing to accelerate its growth in the online education market. Management said the new capital will enable expansion of products and services in the coming months. The company plans to offer school districts of all sizes affordable, practical online learning solutions, according to President and CTO Gregg Rosann.
