Charter School Startup Grant Money Available
The Charter School Startup Grant is a fully funded grant designed to help 100 charter schools launch the Acellus Gold platform for their students and families. It covers initial startup costs, including platform access, comprehensive training, and onboarding support for teachers and staff.
Parent-Controlled Curriculum — Preschool Through 12th Grade
Parents can select standard courses or opt for special courses taught from the perspective of traditional American values for a more conventional educational approach. This flexibility lets families customize learning to fit their child’s need while charter teachers retain full visibility and oversight to ensure students remain on track for graduation and in full compliance with state standards.
Motivation
Elevate Student Achievement
Acellus Gold delivers personalized, adaptive learning tailored to every student. As they advance, students earn Gold Learning Credits that celebrate progress and fuel motivation. Credits can be redeemed in the Acellus Gold Store for exciting rewards — reinforcing the powerful connection between effort and achievement.
ENGAGEMENT
Learning Activities
Once students meet their daily goals in Acellus, they unlock a variety of learning activities designed for their grade level. These interactive opportunities — such as creative projects, exploratory challenges, and enrichment tasks — encourage self-directed discovery, sustain motivation, and deepen students’ love for learning beyond the core curriculum.
