Objectives
The academy seeks to create a collective learning environment that will have a focus on communication across all levels of the school. Plans and strategies outcome data will be shared between the academy faculty, cohort teachers, and administration monthly.
The focus of monthly meetings allows for a review of goals, strategies, and data-centered collaboration. It also provides an opportunity to examine results and revise expectations.
Communication at all levels is key in tracking progress, coordinating implementation, and establishing accountability.
The focus of the Academy is on building a solid foundation of academic skills while instilling responsibility, social skills, and work ethics. The teachers incorporate teamwork, leadership, and communication skills within English, Economics, and technology classes.
The relevance of the classwork will transpire by constant demonstrations of the connections between school, career, and post-secondary education.
While enrolled in this program, students will earn credits from the different register courses within the program. Credits from dual enrollment at Polk State College, Financial Internship (OJT), and Honors credits are available to all students to receive while in this Academy.
