Any learner. Anywhere. Anytime.
Since it was founded in 1995, more than 35,000 students have passed through Pinnacle Education’s virtual doors. Some came to Pinnacle Education so that they had the flexibility to hold down full-time jobs or to pursue a sport or other extra-curricular activities. Others came so they could take care of their family or graduate early from their traditional high school. 

History
Pinnacle Education was founded in 1995 as an educational development program for students struggling in the traditional high school setting. The program combined computer-assisted instruction with social skill training and workplace development, and soon was recognized for its ability to keep students in school and for its overall excellence. 

Since that time, Pinnacle Education has opened new high school campuses, added to the faculty and attracted thousands of new students. In 2003, Pinnacle Online High School came online and began offering the unique Pinnacle courses to any student with a computer and Internet access.
