Pillar Academy Online is an innovative program for highly motivated students seeking flexibility in their schedule and learning environment. Imagine being able to access your coursework any day and at any time.

Our students feel comfortable and confident working at their own pace knowing that they have a team of highly qualified and certified teachers supporting them. Additionally, our students have access to Pillar Learning Centers enabling them to receive additional instructional support, complete complex science labs, and simply build lasting friendships with other online students in their community.

Our Mission

Pillar Academy Online is dedicated to providing high quality, individualized, technology-assisted, standards-based educational programs and services to students in grades nine (9) through twelve (12) who demonstrate an interest in an alternative and non-traditional educational setting emphasizing business, finance and workplace skills necessary to enter the business/workplace environment and/or continue on to studies at a post-secondary institution.

Our Vision

Pillar Academy Online will provide a safe, flexible and innovative learning environment in which students can communicate effectively, think critically, solve problems and are technologically literate through a variety of curricular and extra-curricular activities. Through a challenging course of study with high standards, students will become responsible learners who can not only work collaboratively, but also be accountable for their own academic and developmental progress.

Pillar Academy Online students will graduate as lifelong learners who will make valuable contributions to society. Through the collaboration of school, home and community, every Pillar Academy Online graduate will be well prepared for the demands of the 21st century.
