MileStone Academy is a co-educational high school serving grades 9 through 12 for students who have not flourished in other school environments due to insufficient interventions and resources. The school collaborates with each student and their family to identify strengths and weaknesses, provide appropriate interventions, and develop strategies and tools to support success. Its curriculum is research-based and aligned with the Pennsylvania Core Standards, delivered in a challenging, collaborative, and supportive environment to help students attain success in high school and post-secondary paths. Based in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, MileStone Academy occupies a space within primary and secondary education focused on students needing targeted support. The program describes its student community as motivated, intelligent learners who use strategies to overcome obstacles and navigate education; in October 2021 the academy announced the appointment of Michelle Brown as Director of Education.
