The Academia--a one-room schoolhouse in the 21st century.
Our program was started by a parent, Debrah Baxter Krauss, who felt that the public school system was not the right place for her son but couldn't find the right private school either. By incorporating an excellent online cyber-school curriculum along with the guidance of our teachers, your child can have the best of both worlds in terms of their education and knowledge. We see the value of teaching and learning outside of the classroom and of experiential forms of education.
Accepting preschool students, as well as grades K through 12
Since the 2011-2012 academic school year, The Academia has been taking students from grade K to 12th grade. The school is divided into three separate classes--pre-K and Kindergarten, 1st through 3rd, and 4th through 12th. Because of this, our class sizes will be reduced from 12 to no more than 8, and a total of no more than 40 students will be admitted for the coming year.

We invite you to learn about an extraordinary educational opportunity that has come to the Williamsport area. Finally, there is a place where your child can get the full advantages of a cyber education combined with the individual care of a one-room schoolhouse. The Academia is that unique learning community where the best of traditional education has been combined with cutting-edge technology. Our academy is a special space where your child will be able to learn and grown according to their own individual talents and strengths.
The Academia can offer your child the kind of education that parents in wealthy neighborhoods pay large sums of money to obtain—there are waiting lists over a thousand students long in large urban school districts for educational opportunities like ours. Best of all, this education is available to all children, including those with special needs.
We created this school as a labor of love. We hope your son or daughter can be a part of this great educational program, too.
