Accelerated Learning. Rigorous Expectations. College Preparation.
At Haas Hall Academy Bentonville, Academics are built around an accelerated college-preparatory model that challenges scholars to reach beyond traditional expectations. Serving students in grades 7–12, our tuition-free public charter school combines rigorous coursework, extensive Advanced Placement opportunities, dedicated faculty, and personalized academic guidance to prepare scholars for success in college and beyond.
Our smaller learning environment allows teachers to develop meaningful relationships with scholars while maintaining high academic expectations. Students are encouraged to become active participants in their education—thinking critically, asking questions, accepting challenges, and taking increasing responsibility for their own success.
An Accelerated Academic Model
One of the defining characteristics of Haas Hall Academy Bentonville Academics is our accelerated approach to learning. Scholars can complete a full year’s worth of curriculum in a single semester, allowing them to progress through required coursework efficiently and create room in their schedules for advanced courses and subjects that reflect their interests.
Acceleration is paired with academic rigor. The goal is not simply to complete coursework more quickly, but to develop capable, independent learners who are prepared for the pace and expectations of higher education.

This depth of coursework allows scholars to challenge themselves in multiple disciplines and build an academic pathway that supports their individual college goals.
STEM, Technology & Academic Exploration
The academic experience extends beyond traditional core subjects. Scholars interested in science, mathematics, engineering, technology, business, and other disciplines can deepen their learning through courses and complementary extracurricular opportunities.
Programs and organizations such as Robotics, Engineering Club, Computer Science Competition Team, Science Olympiad, National Science Bowl, MathCounts, Economics Olympiad, HOSA, and DECA give scholars additional opportunities to apply academic concepts, collaborate with peers, solve problems, and compete.
These experiences help connect rigorous classroom learning with the skills scholars may eventually use in college and their careers.
Personalized Academic Planning
No two scholars have exactly the same academic strengths or future goals. Haas Hall Academy Bentonville provides individualized advising to help each student develop an appropriate path through grades 7–12.
A key part of this process is the Student Success Plan (SSP). Scholars, families, and academic advisors work together to create and maintain an evolving plan that addresses:
- Academic goals and progress
- Graduation requirements
- Course selection
- Advanced Placement opportunities
- Standardized testing
- College and career interests
- Individual support needs
Academic Planning Nights are also held for each grade level, helping families understand expectations, upcoming decisions, and opportunities as their scholars progress toward graduation.
Preparing Scholars for College
College preparation is integrated into Haas Hall Academy Academics, rather than treated as something that begins during senior year. Academic advisors help scholars make intentional decisions about their coursework and prepare for the increasingly important milestones that come with each grade level.
Support includes ACT and SAT preparation, college planning, Senior Seminar, financial aid information, parent meetings, and individualized advising. Together, these resources give scholars and families a clear roadmap as they move from middle school academics toward college applications and post-secondary decisions.
Challenge Supported by Strong Relationships
Academic rigor is most effective when scholars know they have people invested in their success. Haas Hall Academy Bentonville’s approximately 17:1 student-teacher ratio helps faculty get to know scholars personally and provide meaningful guidance and support.
Our teachers challenge students to achieve at a high level while helping them develop the confidence, discipline, and independence necessary to meet those expectations. This combination of rigor and relationships is an important part of the Bentonville academic experience.
Ready for What Comes Next
At Haas Hall Academy Bentonville, our goal is bigger than helping scholars earn credits or complete graduation requirements. We want them to leave Haas Hall prepared to succeed in demanding college classrooms and confidently pursue their future goals.
Through accelerated coursework, extensive AP opportunities, individualized academic planning, and a culture of high expectations, scholars develop the knowledge and learning habits necessary to take the next step.
