Impact College Park Academy, a public charter middle and high school, founded by the University of Maryland and the City of College Park, is a rigorous college-preparatory school with early college credit opportunities. The school features blended learning, enabling students to earn up to 60 college credits (including 25 credits at the University of Maryland) prior to high school commencement. University of Maryland students studying engineering, music and classics volunteer at the academy, providing students with role models and promoting inclusion.

The building features classrooms with smart TVs and wheeled desks to help facilitate virtual teaching and other online learning resources.
