About Mesquite Academy
Mesquite Academy opened in 1993 and offers an opportunity for students seeking a non-traditional school experience. We support all 5 high schools and 10 middle schools in Mesquite ISD. Any student within Mesquite ISD who desires an untraditional accelerated style of learning can apply through their home campus.
Here at the Mesquite Academy we believe in helping you recognize your value, accelerate you in your coursework and connect to a career path. We do that by centering our focus around our four core values of belief, showing grace, having a growth mindset, and connecting to the community. These beliefs drive us to help you cultivate a quality educational life, as well as a quality life once you graduate and go beyond these four walls.
Our Programs

Our Acceler8 program challenges our eighth graders to complete all of the eighth grade in one semester on Edgenuity and then transition into 9th grade to earn high school credits after successfully completing all of the eighth grade coursework.
Advance
Our Advance program offers blended learning of both a traditional campus as well as our online curriculum called Edgenuity. The goal of this program is to focus on advancing students to their correct grade.
Achieve
Our Achieve program places our 10-12th graders in self paced classes with content teachers to assist them through the online coursework in Edgenuity and allow them to achieve their goal of moving towards graduation. Each semester class is set up to be completed in 60 days.
