Glass City Academy History
As a dropout prevention and recovery school established in 2003, Glass City Academy has given great attention to designing a curriculum that meets State of Ohio requirements as well as offering challenging classes for all students. Students, parents, and guardians work with the school’s director and counselor to design a personal graduation plan that includes accomplishments and credits already received.
