The academy concept is a career-focused approach to studying the high school curriculum. Students complete all requirements for graduation as well as electives that comprise a career-focused program of study.
The academic curriculum is integrated with the technical curriculum, giving students opportunities to see the real-world application of academics. Students within the academy are grouped together in classes with the same teachers whenever possible, allowing teachers to build classroom rigor and relevance in unique way.
