ACC is eager to invest in the right school partners through upgrading facilities, enhancing programs, investing in staff, and improving strategy. The following is our general acquisition criteria, although we remain flexible for the right programs and situations:
Long Term
Nothing is more important to us than repeatedly facilitating successful student outcomes. We believe that if something is in our students’ best interest then it is probably in our best interests too. We understand that a school’s brand means something in its community, and we try to make the right decisions that will benefit a school’s brand in the long-term and avoid the short-termism that has hindered many larger schools in our industry.
Transparent
When we purchase a school, we strive to be transparent in our dealings with founders and existing employees. We care that we and the sellers, and all constituents, will be content with both the process and the outcome.
Compliant
Accelerate is built upon a culture of compliance. We work every day to ensure that our schools are meeting all the requirements set by the various agencies and accreditors that oversee our institutions.
