CTE Career Academies

A Career Academy is part of a small learning community where students choose to focus on a specific career theme within the context of their education plans. The classes are taught by a cohort of teachers who plan curriculum together so that all academy classes are inter-related. Industry professionals assist by providing the money and  experiences in the real world i.e  job shadows, guest speakers, industry specific field trips, career conferences, mentors, and  internships. These partners also raise money for scholarships and often are on-going supporters of our graduates following into college and adulthood. Academies provide a relevant educational experience, meeting the Washington State and Seattle Public Schools academic standards, while preparing the students for their future of college and careers.
