Academics

When students arrive at Tipton Academy they may not have been doing very well in school or showing the potential they have academically. Each student is evaluated in regards to their own potential and assigned classes based upon their grade level, and achievement.

Students at Tipton Academy are challenged to see their potential and are held to a standard of work, 80% or higher to show proficiency in that area. School credits are granted by Lakeside High School, Downs, KS.. Academic credits are easily transferred to your local high school when your son has graduated the program.

Course work is completed primarily online, with available assistance from qualified teachers. Students are expected to work through a complete school day and show improvement. Students attend year round school to help them gain credits lost or to enhance their learning.

In many academic settings, students struggle and there individual needs are lost. When this happens they get discouraged and give up. We work with our students to work at their own pace and feel great academic success.
