What’s Next for Pinnacle?
From expanding language options to launching student-led initiatives and global experiential learning, our path forward is bold, inclusive, and learner-first.
Because we believe the best schools don’t stand still — they evolve with the world their students are stepping into.
Why Leadership Matters Here
We don’t just run a school. We build a space for transformation — for learners, families, and educators alike.

Head of School,
Innovator,
Lifelong Educator
Aryan didn’t set out to reinvent school — he started by simply asking better questions. What would it look like if every student had access to a world-class education, no matter their time zone, learning style, or family schedule? What if “school” could be built around the learner — not the other way around?
From those questions, Pinnacle Academy took shape.
Aryan’s career began in traditional classrooms, where he taught science to young learners and quickly became known for his dynamic, curiosity-driven approach. But it was in virtual education that his vision truly expanded. He began designing online learning experiences that were rich with interaction, meaningful pacing, and — most importantly — real human connection.
As Pinnacle’s founding Head of School, Aryan has led the development of our live class structure, bilingual learning tracks, and the personalized SMART curriculum model. He’s been instrumental in building a team of global educators, securing international accreditation (including NCAA approval), and creating a culture where students thrive — not in spite of online learning, but because of how well it’s done.
What sets Aryan apart isn’t just his expertise. It’s his unwavering focus on each learner’s journey. He believes that every student has a “spark” — and it’s our job as educators to help them protect it, grow it, and carry it forward into the world.
Vision-Driven. People-Led. Always Student-Centered.
At the heart of Pinnacle Academy is a deep belief: that education can be both excellent and flexible, both global and personal. That belief began with a small team of passionate educators — and continues today under the leadership of our Head of School, Aryan Marxaney.
