Principal Shelby Academy Shelbyville, Kentucky, United States
Abstract Description : The Shelby Academy was conceived at DLAC 2023, and today we are a unique marriage of a personalized online learning program, an operationalized GED opportunity, and an alternative school, all using a hybrid learning format but - more importantly - all built on wrapping around a student's educational and social-emotional needs when the traditional learning environment does not seem to fit. In our mission to help students 'Find Their Path', we serve a extremely wide spectrum of kids which requires a unique structure, the right technology, and a human touch that sometimes gets forgotten in online learning. We have not arrived, but we know our mission is the right one. Welcome to The Shelby Academy!
