Griffin Academy Middle and High Schools were started eight years ago as an innovative alternative to to the 25-year-old MIT Academy program. Griffin Academy uses a state of the art instructional program combining dual enrollment in community college and a hybrid academic platform called Summit Learning.

Summit’s research-based curriculum offers a highly personalized instructional model that emphasizes competency learning, cognitive development, strong adult mentorship, and social-emotional learning. Griffin Academy Middle and High Schools offer a strong personalized learning framework where, under close adult supervision, students can advance based on standards-based competencies and comprehensive individual learning plans.  In addition, Griffin’s dual enrollment system includes a graduation requirement of 30 units of college credit at Contra Costa Community College. 

Griffin Academy Middle and High Schools share a campus at 233 Hobbs Avenue in the Harry Floyd Terrace neighborhood of Vallejo. Its convenient location - abutting Richardson Park - offers students recreational opportunities beyond the athletics field and basketball and volleyball courts on campus.
