Drawing from a pool of highly experienced, passionate educators, Fusion seeks to foster professionals focused on student emotional, academic, and social growth through classes designed around student needs and interests.

"Fusion Academy exists for students whom, for a variety of reasons, traditional school is not the best option," Cambridge said. "We know that parents on the Main Line are eager to find a school that offers a whole-child approach, where students face less emotional and social strain, and we believe Fusion is that solution."

To reduce family stress and build strength, Fusion students complete their homework at the Homework Café with help and supervision from a teacher—they don’t take it home.

This allows students to spend quality time with family and friends, or pursue competitive talents, sports and philanthropic work. The Fusion learning model focuses on a holistic approach to student success, involving family members and other individuals that support each student’s academic growth.
