GOAL Headlines

Academic Excellence

GOAL provides students with the opportunities to balance their extracurricular activities and education, all while encouraging them to pursue academic excellence. In 2024, the average Golden Eagle ACT score was 23.4, surpassing the Tennessee state average of 18.8. GOAL also offers Dual Enrollment (DE) courses through the University of Tennessee at Martin, so our students can receive college credit while at GOAL. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are also provided with AP Access for All, and honors courses are also available for our students. We offer CTE electives and real world experiences to support our students as they prepare for their tomorrow.

Intervention and Tier 1 Math Support

GOAL provides academic intervention for our students. We have a full time interventionist who meets virtually with students to provide RTI and/or ESE support during the academic year. New this year - we are providing Math Tier 1 support during the school year! These are virtual sessions provided by GOAL faculty to support each student's individual needs.

ACT Workshops

Germantown Online Academy of Learning provides mini virtual ACT workshops twice a week for our juniors and seniors during the school year. In addition to this, our juniors and seniors are provided additional ACT tutoring sessions during the week through our GOAL faculty. We also provide two in-person ACT workshops through the University of Tennessee at Martin, which provided additional ACT support and strategies.
