*As public education faces growing challenges, rising achievement gaps, questions about school choice, and shifting policies, GEO Academies is offering a clear, proven solution that’s changing lives: college during high school.
Founded by Kevin Teasley, the GEO Foundation runs a network of public charter schools across the country that give students something far greater than just a traditional education. The GEO name stands for Greater Education Opportunities, and that is exactly what they deliver.
Students are provided with access to college during their enrollment in the Foundation’s ‘GEO Academies’ high schools. This safer, faster track to college has led numerous GEO graduates to meaningful careers and long-term success, that is opening doors that were once not only out of reach but out of mind.
At GEO schools, their high school students don’t just prepare for college—they attend college. Through partnerships with accredited universities, GEO students earn college credits, Associate’s degrees, and even full Bachelor’s degrees while still enrolled in high school. Tuition, books, fees, and transportation are all covered at no cost to families.
“This is about more than options,” shared Kevin Teasley, Founder of the GEO Foundation and the academies. “It’s about outcomes. We’re helping families build choice-filled lives and preparing students for real postsecondary success. College should be a right, not a dream.”

Parents can dream big with GEO too, and earn their high school diplomas and even college credits, alongside their children. It’s a model built not just for students, but for entire families.
Teasley’s drive for change comes from personal experience. Growing up in California, he saw how unequal access to education limited futures. That experience became his motivation for GEO’s mission: break down barriers for underserved communities and offer a path forward.
GEO’s model emphasizes early college exposure, personalized learning plans, and high expectations for every student—whether they need extra academic support or are ready to accelerate.
As the national conversation on school choice continues and the Department of Education lays in ruins, Teasley makes one thing clear: choice must come with quality.
“We go where we’re needed,” Teasley says. “Every community has students ready for something better.”
With successful campuses already operating, GEO is preparing to expand into states like Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina.
The demand is clear, and the results must speak for themselves.
“It’s not about how many schools exist but it’s about how well they’re serving students,” he says. “The real work happens in classrooms.”
For families outside of GEO schools, the message is simple: a different kind of education is possible. Students thrive when they’re challenged, supported, and treated like they belong on a college campus. Families grow when learning is shared.
“When parents learn, households rise,” Teasley says. “That’s what education should do.”
Beyond GEO, Teasley supports scholarships, invests in community programs, and mentors future education leaders.
“This isn’t a job,” he says. “It’s how I give back.”
GEO Academies is proving that with the right model, public education can deliver real opportunity—and a head start into the future.
