About Us

ACCA Mission

At Ashland County Community Academy (ACCA), our mission is to empower learners to grow through: personalizing learning experiences that blend online and in-person instruction, cultivating knowledge, developing essential skills, and preparing them for success in the real world.

ACCA School Description

We are a blended learning dropout prevention and recovery (DOPR) public charter school in Ashland, Ohio. Since we opened our doors in 2008, we have provided at-risk youth in grades 7-12 with pathways to success and graduation. We hold a rating of EXCEEDS STANDARDS for DOPR school in the state of Ohio. 

As a blended learning school, we use a combination of in-person learning, online learning (both synchronous and asynchronous), and work-based learning to provide an education filled with opportunities for students to build knowledge, skills, and real-world experiences. We offer core academics, electives, credit recovery, and career-technical education.

What Makes ACCA Unique

By design, we are small compared to traditional high schools, with a ratio of about 5:1 student to full staff ratio. This allows us to effectively work with students in ways that larger, more impersonal high schools cannot. 

You will work differently at ACCA. Our teachers work 180-day contracts. And, given our blended learning educational program, blended learning days allow for a variety of work options, including remote, in the community, and of course, in the school building.
