THE PROMONTORY ACADEMY ONLINE
Education for a Borderless Future.
Welcome Home.
At The Promontory Academy, we have reimagined and re-engineered what education not only should be but must be. We deliver a globally recognized, interdisciplinary curriculum designed for the next generation of innovators, leaders, and problem-solvers — wherever they live in the world.
Our programs are built for families seeking flexible, powerful alternatives to traditional education. Whether you are homeschooling independently or seeking a structured, asynchronous global learning track, Promontory provides a future-ready education without borders.
It’s what we do, how we do it, and why it matters, that makes The Promontory Academy unique in the world.
A New Model of Learning: The Living Constellation Model™
At the heart of our academic design is our very own Living Constellation Model™ — a dynamic, interdisciplinary system that connects core academic subjects to global challenges, innovation, creativity, and real-world application.
We also instruct our students on how to present their work in dynamic and impactful ways, helping them find their voices and their self-confidence.
Students don’t just memorize facts. They weave knowledge across disciplines, building powerful constellations of thought and action around central ideas, projects, or global issues.
We use six-week thematic modules to keep learning exciting and impactful. Subjects stay fresh and focused — no dragging things out for months. We dive in, explore deeply, and move forward before the spark fades.
If you’re looking for a new kind of education — one built for the future, not the past — welcome. You’ve found it.
Starting in 8th Grade / Year 9, students may qualify for special recognition as a member of the TPA Global Brain Trust™. Membership is awarded through a challenging badge system, and will be well-earned! More details will be given upon enrollment.
Can I Trust The Promontory with My Child’s Education?
Absolutely. Here’s why:
We care about the human being first, not just the student. Growth, belonging, and courage matter just as much as academic success here.
We believe in every student’s potential — no matter where they start from. If a student is ready to work hard and reach higher, we are ready to walk beside them.
Preparation starts early — beginning in 3rd grade, students naturally build the skills that open doors to AP, IB, SAT, PISA, Cambridge, and more — often without even realizing it.
Our curriculum meets global standards, while keeping learning meaningful, challenging, and deeply connected to the real world.
We open doors, not gatekeep — if a student wants in, we work hard to make it happen. Drive, heart, and willingness matter much more than where you come from.
We offer a globally accredited diploma, giving every graduate a respected, real-world credential to launch their next chapter. *We are a COGNIA member. Full accreditation with COGNIA is anticipated in 2026.
Our tuition is all-inclusive, always.
All-inclusive literally means everything except your laptop and net connection. You get access to all of the digital supports our staff uses for deep learning: Gizmos, Quill, Brainscape, Eduten, Fishtank, Rosetta Stone, and more. Accessing these platforms on your own would cost you hundreds of dollars, if not more.
And no more desperately trying to piece together a program that you hope will work. We’ve done all the work for you, and we have the experienced, licensed, student-friendly staff to deliver our future-ready curriculum.
The Promontory Academy is in the middle of an inspired pivot. The world moves in unexpected ways at times, and we are flexing with the changes. We are now building our model to include 3rd grade (ages 8~9) through 9th grade (ages 14~15).
We will now offer our attention-getting, future-forward curriculum in different tuition tiers, from Do-It-Yourself access to our curriculum, to self-paced but instructor-motivated progress pathways.
All of our tiers come with some level of instructor feedback – and remember, our instructors aren’t fly-by-night neophytes. We only work with highly experienced and diligently trained education professionals. We are an unstoppable team.
As we evolve into our new delivery formats and The Promontory looks like the perfect place for your child, it is critical that you stay informed. We are rebuilding our delivery system right now, and should be ready to offer our exceptional, one-of-a-kind online education to you in the Fall of 2025.
