Here at Hippocampus Academy we get it: you’ve got a life.  So do we!  And we believe that our beauty as human beings lies precisely within that which makes us different.  So breath easy know that no matter what shape your situation takes, we’ve got your back.  

Did you know that many schools—even those operating online—won’t approve your full transcript for one-to-one transfer credit past the fifth or sixth grade?  Virtually none of them will once you get up into the later high school years.  There are many reasons for this: curriculum differences, quality concerns and, it’s true, money.  

Our goal has always been to foster diversity among our student body and cater to the needs and goals of every student and their family in a way that traditional schools can’t. And when we say everyone we mean everyone.
