Since 2011, our internationally recognized curriculum and diverse family population has helped students develop a global perspective. Caring educators and involved parents create a neighborhood-school atmosphere. It\u2019s the best of both worlds for our K4-5 students. We\u2019re glad you\u2019re here.  <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been in the principal\u2019s office at AAL for 14 years. I\u2019ve been in the building much longer. I attended this school myself, then moved on to Hamilton High School. Education is a lifelong passion and family tradition. My mother taught in Milwaukee Public Schools and my daughter is now a music educator at Reagan High School.  <\/p>\n<p>I began my MPS career teaching sixth grade, thirty years ago. After seven years in the classroom, I earned a master\u2019s degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and began working in administration.  <\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re already an AAL parent or considering joining our community, please contact us anytime with questions about life and learning at the Academy of Accelerated Learning. <\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Eric Rian, principal<br \/>\nThe Academy of Accelerated Learning<br \/>\nrianez@milwaukee.k12.wi.us[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings, current and future Academy of Accelerated Learning families.
