Ecademy was founded by professional public school educators. Compared to many other online schools, this is a tremendous benefit for parents and students. Some online schools were formed first as a business venture and secondarily as a rich learning environment. Ecademy combines high quality online learning experiences with a student-centered and family friendly learning community that is both flexible and accessible to students and parents.
