Greenways Academy

What Greenways Academy does

Greenways Academy is a private, accredited online K-12 school founded in 1996 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, serving individual students and families across the United States and internationally. The school delivers personalized full-time and part-time online programs spanning elementary, middle, and high school grades, with a catalog of more than 250 courses including AP, Honors, world languages, and California A-G approved coursework. Specialized offerings include Career Ready Academy (with 11-12 industry certification tracks such as Microsoft Office Specialist, Cybersecurity, Web Development, and Culinary Arts), international student programs, summer school, and a gap year program. The company holds triple accreditation from Cognia, WASC, and NCAA and partners with Arizona State University to offer concurrent high school and university credit.

Greenways operates on a cloud-hosted Buzz LMS with LTI-standard integrations to third-party education platforms (Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, Schoology, Edmentum, Apex), supplemented by the proprietary Genius SIS for student information management. There is no evidence of proprietary AI/ML technology; curriculum is delivered through Apex courseware and human-supervised instruction. The technology stack is conventional for an online private school, and the differentiation rests on breadth of content, accreditation, and channel access rather than on novel technology.

Greenways monetizes through per-course tuition ($425-$799 per semester), one-on-one Zoom tutoring ($75/hour), course extensions ($150/month), and graduation packets ($25-$75). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company website with admissions advisor support, supplemented by district partnerships, ClassWallet and Odyssey marketplace listings that capture Education Scholarship Account (ESA) funding from 9+ states, and an international agent network. The founder, Patti Greenberg, leads the organization, which operates with a reported 1-10 person staff.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Florida Virtual School (FLVS): Statewide public online K-12 program offering full-time and individual course enrollment with NCAA and AP coverage. Highly comparable in catalog breadth and part-time single-course use cases, but anchored to Florida residency rules.
• Connections Academy: Operated by Stride, Connections Academy runs tuition-free online public schools across dozens of states. Comparable online K-12 enrollment model and accreditation story, but free-district-funded positioning differs from Greenways' private tuition / ESA-funded pay structure.
• Stride (K12 Inc.): The largest publicly listed online K-12 operator, offering full-time online public and private schools (Connections Academy, K12 Private Academy). Operates in the same category but at much greater scale with career and dual-enrollment pathways that increasingly overlap with Greenways' offering.

Direct peers

• Oak Meadow School: Accredited private K-12 homeschool and online school offering full-time and single-course enrollment with progressive curriculum. Comparable in the flexible-pace, parent-driven enrollment model and accreditation credentials that attract similar homeschooling and traveling-student families.
• International Schooling: Accredited online K-12 school serving international and US-based students seeking American curriculum, transcripts, and college placement. Compares closely to Greenways' International Programs product line and target segment.
• The Keystone School: Accredited private online and correspondence K-12 school serving accelerated learners and homeschool families. Shares the accreditation stack (Cognia/NCA), flexible pacing, AP catalog, and NCAA-approved positioning that defines Greenways' premium positioning.
• Alpha Omega Academy: Private accredited online K-12 school offering college-prep, AP, and credit recovery courses with a Christian-worldview orientation. Competes in the same accredited private online K-12 niche as Greenways across full-time, part-time, and individual course enrollments.
• Laurel Springs School: Long-established accredited private online K-12 school offering college-prep, AP, and NCAA-approved courses with similar full-time, part-time, and one-course enrollment models. Directly comparable in core value proposition (flexible accredited online education) and target families (homeschoolers, athletes, traveling students).

Emerging players

• Stanford Online High School: Highly selective accredited online private high school serving advanced K-12 learners, especially competitive for accelerated and college-bound students. Comparable in the advanced/AP/college placement premium tier but at higher price points and higher selectivity.
• ASU Prep Global: Partner of Greenways via the dual-enrollment program; ASU's own K-12 online school offering concurrent high school and university credit. Compares on the ASU-side of the partnership and is increasingly a near-substitute full-time pathway option for the same families.
