The Accelere Program is part of Multiple Pathways. 

Accelere provides an opportunity for students who are disengaged or at risk of becoming disengaged from their traditional high
school programs, to complete high school graduation requirements and earn a high school diploma.

Accelere follows the same standards-based curriculum found in all Omaha Public Schools, facilitated by certified teachers.

Typical students served are ages 17-21 and were unable to complete the 48 required credits for graduation within 4 years with their cohort.  

Classes are offered in an intensive course format with teacher-led classes being taught in 22-day "terms". 8 terms are offered during the regular school year with one additional term during the summer. Two morning blocks are available with one block being offered in the afternoon.  Students may take one to three classes per term.   

Because this is an accelerated program, daily attendance is required to earn credits.
