Update 4/30/15: Fusion Education Group (FEG) is now Fusion Academy. The corporate office, in Grand Rapids, MI, has served as the multi-campus administrative support under the FEG name for the last two years, and is now fully embracing their supporting role in the decentralized educational model by taking on the name.

We are dedicated to serving these children and their parents as we pursue our visionary goal of reinventing schools through our Fusion Academy campuses. Fusion Academy is an alternative, college-prep private school for grades 6-12 that offers class sizes as small as they come: just one student and one teacher in each private classroom. Here, the educational experience is completely customized around each student. Classes are are self-paced, and the material is presented in a way that considers each student’s interests, strengths, and learning style. Students may attend Fusion Academy full-time, or enroll in Fusion Learning Center's tutoring, summer, and credit recovery programs as an educational supplement. Fusion campuses are located all across California and New York. Fusion Education Group is located in Grand Rapids, MI.
