Oklahoma has received high praise lately concerning the business-friendly environment we have here in the state. Just two months ago, Oklahoma City ranked second on Business Journals’ list of most conducive places for the creation and development of small business. A model example of this would be Advanced Academics, which is headquartered in Bricktown. However, Advanced Academics might not be considered a “small” business anymore as their online instructional platform is used in over 30 states.
Advanced Academics was designed to help students graduate and succeed by creating an online learning environment that helps students realize their full potential and providing school districts with the tools to make it happen.

Recently, Advanced Academics announced they would add approximately 50 employees to their operation and expand their lease over 9,000 feet square feet in the Bunte Candy Factory building in Bricktown. With this additional space the company plans to add an IT build room and a video production facility complete with a green screen and lighting equipment in order to produce their educational videos.
The Oklahoman published an article about Advanced Academics’ expansion. In the article, President and CEO of Advanced Academics Jeff Elliott said, “Parents and students in Oklahoma and across the country are increasingly turning to online education for quality instruction customized to each student's individual learning style, whether they are looking for a comprehensive virtual school or online classes to supplement their local offerings and school districts.”
Going forward, it is companies like Advanced Academics which continue to make a positive difference in the lives of students, as well as a positive difference within the Oklahoma community.
