American Education Group Announces Opening of Three Additional Alternative Private Schools in Southern California
Network of Schools Offering One-to-One Learning Experience Grows to Seven
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- As parents across the country search for educational alternatives to maximize their children's intellectual and social growth, American Education Group (www.AmericanEdGroup.com) continues to reinvent the concept of school around customization, specialization and individualization of programs to meet student needs. The Grand Rapids-based company with an expanding network of alternative private schools recently announced the opening of three additional Fusion Academy & Learning Center campuses in southern California to meet growing demand.
Fusion Academy & Learning Center was started more than 20 years ago in founder Michelle Rose Gilman's San Diego-area garage, and has experienced rapid growth since being acquired by AEG in 2009. The school's unique one-to-one learning model and flexible scheduling is resonating with parents of children having difficulty in the traditional school setting. The recently announced campuses opening in Westlake Village, Pasadena and South Bay in the first quarter of 2011 will join the three existing Fusion Academy schools opened in the greater Los Angeles-area – Los Angeles, Mission Viejo and Huntington Beach (opening January 4) – and bring the network of Fusion Academy schools to seven.
Fusion Academy & Learning Center utilizes a "personalized learning" model to help individual students through a dynamic, one-to-one method of teaching and mentoring. This state-of-the-art educational model tailors teaching methods to the needs and interests of each student. Each Fusion Academy campus includes a full mixed-media art studio, a state-of-the-art music and recording studio, a Homework Cafe® and a social area.
"When we acquired Fusion Academy, our objective was to replicate its innovative approach in neighboring markets to provide an educational solution for parents whose children weren't thriving at their existing schools," said Peter Ruppert, AEG's founder and president. "The enthusiastic response we've received in those markets where we've already opened a campus has led to an accelerated expansion timeline."
