What is an academy?

A Career Academy is up to a 4-year full sequence of specific elective courses designed around a career cluster area of interest and requires additional national CTE standards as defined by the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE).

Career Academies create a “school within a school” feel since students select to be grouped by a common area of interest for some classes.

Each Career Academy has a Program of Study that helps guide students in course selection and plan for postsecondary experiences.

What is a CTE program?

CTE Programs consist of three or more job preparatory courses in a career cluster area of interest.

Students who participate in CTE Programs are still able to take advantage of district-wide programs such as Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), Advanced Placement (AP), and Dual Enrollment, Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) and the International Baccalaureate (IB).
