The International Academy of Science (IAS) is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. Founded in 1985, its programs, including the Acellus Learning Accelerator, are used by thousands of schools in the United States. IAS operates Acellus Academy, a regionally accredited online school, and performs research in education and other scientific fields.[1][2][3]
Programs
IAS's Acellus Learning Accelerator is an online K-12 curriculum with short video lessons and focused feedback. Prism Diagnostics in Acellus determines why students answered a problem incorrectly and then provides instructional videos on what they should have done. It is said to be used by millions of students in the United States at thousands of schools. Some school implementations are funded by grants.[3][4][5]
Acellus includes a STEM Robotics curriculum designed to teach coding to elementary students and courses that are used by schools for credit recovery. Some IAS courses for high school have been A-G approved by the University of California.[6][7][8]
Multiple schools have cited Acellus as part of their response to COVID-19.[9][10]
IAS operates Acellus Academy, which is a K-12 online private school that is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Acellus Academy is used by public schools and by parents to educate students. Some courses provided through Acellus Academy have been approved by NCAA and audited by College Board.[11][12][13]
IAS is involved in scientific research projects associated with education, hydrogen energy, and data networking. IAS has a postgraduate fellowship program that grants master's and doctorate degrees in research. The programs combine science, engineering, and business into one course of study.[1][14][15]
History
IAS was founded in 1985 by Roger E. Billings, a scientist who invented the hydrogen car, Willis Hawkins, the president of Lockheed Corporation, Geoffrey Pardoe, the president of the Royal Aeronautical Society, Alexei Tupolev, a Soviet aerospace engineer, and Olof Tegström, Founder and President of Tebetron in Sweden to advance science and education.[16][17]
