GEO Foundation
GEO Foundation is a blueprint for the support and funding of American charter schools.
Currently, there are four such schools in the United States. Fall Creek Academy and Fountain Square Academy, are located in Indianapolis, Indiana. 21st Century Charter School of Gary is located in Gary, Indiana, and Pikes Peak Prep located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Two more schools are proposed to open soon. Those schools are Gary Middle College, and South Bend Career Academy.
The curriculum at all four schools is centered on self-directed learning and is facilitated by a computer program called the A+ Learning System. This program is a completely computer-based learning system in which students take various exams to determine their introductory level of knowledge. A curriculum supervisor then adds lessons to each student's personalized account. Students then complete these lessons at their own pace. Each lesson ends with an exam which serves to certify a student for the next lesson.
History The GEO Foundation, a non-profit 501(c) 3 research and educational institution, was founded under the leadership of President Kevin Teasley in June 1998.
