Students & Parents
Discover Academics, Skills, College, Career—Together.
A Career Academy is a small school within a high school. In Career Academies, students learn in smaller groups—“schools within schools”—that help build multi-year relationships with teachers and other kids. Specialized classes teach the things young people need to know to succeed in the world of work. With paid internships and summer jobs, students can earn cash while getting valuable experience.
And Career Academy students go to college more often than other kids. Solid academics AND career skills… that's what Career Academies are all about.
Students and parents, why would you choose a Career Academy?
- Study in a high-skill, high-wage industry
- Be more likely to go to college
- Earn certifications and work credentials
- Free college credits while still in high school... save money!
- Paid internships… earn while you learn
- Parents: Career Academies are the "and" for your student... they get college-ready AND a skill.
