Why Academy SchoolsWhy Academy SchoolsWhy Academy Schools

What is an academy

An academy is a small learning community with a theme

(of electives) where students all share the same lan-

guage arts math science social studies and elective

teachers These academies provide a focused career-

themed learning environment for all students

Why are schools moving to the academy

model

There is significant research which concludes that the

academy model improves student success because stu-

dents are in their area of interest and share all the same

teachers thereby creating a strong support system for

the student

Do we get to pick any one we want to be in

Yes a student is presented with all of the Academy

pathways during the registration process for 9th grade

Each student is asked to choose an Academy based on

career interests Each student then picks a pathway

from within the selected Academy

Will students be allowed to switch academies

andor change pathways Yes a student may choose to switch academies during

the registration process each year However if a stu-

dent changes academies heshe may risk not earning

industry certification for a particular pathway

What if they do not have the career I want or

if Irsquom not interested in any of the academy

pathways Do we still have to choose one Yes please choose an elective or pathway that sounds

the most interesting or that you would like to learn

more about

Will more pathway options be available Yes we are adding new pathways (elective options)

each year within the existing academies

How will being in an Academy affect my

graduation Academies will not affect requirements for graduation

as all classes taken within the academy fulfill gradua-

tion requirements In some pathways you will have the

opportunity to earn industry certification which can

help you find a job straight out of high school If

attending college after high school the academy model

may help you decide on a college major and career

Will Academies change the curriculum being taught The core courses are the same courses based on the same AKS (educational standards) Teachers are en-couraged to use examples research reading passages and projects based on the studentrsquos interest and Acad-emy themes

STEPS TO THE REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR RISING 9TH GRADERS

Step one Select your academy

Each of the four academies will present information to you during the Academy Orientation on Monday February 9th Pick the Academy that best fits your future plans Course content and advisement will be tailored to your selection What if your interests change as you progress through high school Each year during the registration process you will have an opportunity to change your academy selection Information for each academy including the pathways and pathway courses is included in this booklet

Step two Choose your pathway

Each Academy includes several career pathways A pathway is defined as three elective units in a coherent sequence that includes rigorous content aligned with industry-related standards leading to college and work readiness The courses included in each pathway are listed in this booklet

Select the pathway within your academy which best matches your career interests You should begin your pathway no later than your 10th grade year You do not have to take the first course for you pathway during your 9th grade year

Step three Choose your electives

Next you will select four elective courses to take your 9th grade year You must register for Introduction to Lifetime FitnessHealth as this is a state graduation requirement

If you are currently participating in band or orchestra see your teacher to make sure you sign up for the appropriate course

If you already have a strong career interest you may sign up for the first course in your selected pathway (pathway course are listed with each Academy) If you are unsure of your specific career interest we recommend that you take the elective course High School Transitions (see Elective Course Offerings for more details)

Why Academy SchoolsWhy Academy SchoolsWhy Academy Schools

What is an academy

An academy is a small learning community with a theme

(of electives) where students all share the same lan-

guage arts math science social studies and elective

teachers These academies provide a focused career-

themed learning environment for all students

Why are schools moving to the academy

model

There is significant research which concludes that the

academy model improves student success because stu-

dents are in their area of interest and share all the same

teachers thereby creating a strong support system for

the student

Do we get to pick any one we want to be in

Yes a student is presented with all of the Academy

pathways during the registration process for 9th grade

Each student is asked to choose an Academy based on

career interests Each student then picks a pathway

from within the selected Academy

Will students be allowed to switch academies

andor change pathways Yes a student may choose to switch academies during

the registration process each year However if a stu-

dent changes academies heshe may risk not earning

industry certification for a particular pathway

What if they do not have the career I want or

if Irsquom not interested in any of the academy

pathways Do we still have to choose one Yes please choose an elective or pathway that sounds

the most interesting or that you would like to learn

more about

Will more pathway options be available Yes we are adding new pathways (elective options)

each year within the existing academies

How will being in an Academy affect my

graduation Academies will not affect requirements for graduation

as all classes taken within the academy fulfill gradua-

tion requirements In some pathways you will have the

opportunity to earn industry certification which can

help you find a job straight out of high school If

attending college after high school the academy model

may help you decide on a college major and career

Will Academies change the curriculum being taught The core courses are the same courses based on the same AKS (educational standards) Teachers are en-couraged to use examples research reading passages and projects based on the studentrsquos interest and Acad-emy themes

STEPS TO THE REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR RISING 9TH GRADERS

Step one Select your academy

Each of the four academies will present information to you during the Academy Orientation on Monday February 9th Pick the Academy that best fits your future plans Course content and advisement will be tailored to your selection What if your interests change as you progress through high school Each year during the registration process you will have an opportunity to change your academy selection Information for each academy including the pathways and pathway courses is included in this booklet

Step two Choose your pathway

Each Academy includes several career pathways A pathway is defined as three elective units in a coherent sequence that includes rigorous content aligned with industry-related standards leading to college and work readiness The courses included in each pathway are listed in this booklet

Select the pathway within your academy which best matches your career interests You should begin your pathway no later than your 10th grade year You do not have to take the first course for you pathway during your 9th grade year

Step three Choose your electives

Next you will select four elective courses to take your 9th grade year You must register for Introduction to Lifetime FitnessHealth as this is a state graduation requirement

If you are currently participating in band or orchestra see your teacher to make sure you sign up for the appropriate course

If you already have a strong career interest you may sign up for the first course in your selected pathway (pathway course are listed with each Academy) If you are unsure of your specific career interest we recommend that you take the elective course High School Transitions (see Elective Course Offerings for more details)

Step four Register for core classes

During the next two weeks your current core subject teachers (math science social studies and language arts) will recommend you for the appropriate 9th grade course in each subject area Students who are served through the special education program will receive assistance from caseload managers Students served through the ESOL program will be registered for the appropriate core course by middle and high school ESOL staff members based on current testing data

Step five Complete and submit the 9th grade registration form

Why Academy SchoolsWhy Academy SchoolsWhy Academy Schools

What is an academy

An academy is a small learning community with a theme

(of electives) where students all share the same lan-

guage arts math science social studies and elective

teachers These academies provide a focused career-

themed learning environment for all students

Why are schools moving to the academy

model

There is significant research which concludes that the

academy model improves student success because stu-

dents are in their area of interest and share all the same

teachers thereby creating a strong support system for

the student

Do we get to pick any one we want to be in

Yes a student is presented with all of the Academy

pathways during the registration process for 9th grade

Each student is asked to choose an Academy based on

career interests Each student then picks a pathway

from within the selected Academy

Will students be allowed to switch academies

andor change pathways Yes a student may choose to switch academies during

the registration process each year However if a stu-

dent changes academies heshe may risk not earning

industry certification for a particular pathway

What if they do not have the career I want or

if Irsquom not interested in any of the academy

pathways Do we still have to choose one Yes please choose an elective or pathway that sounds

the most interesting or that you would like to learn

more about

Will more pathway options be available Yes we are adding new pathways (elective options)

each year within the existing academies

How will being in an Academy affect my

graduation Academies will not affect requirements for graduation

as all classes taken within the academy fulfill gradua-

tion requirements In some pathways you will have the

opportunity to earn industry certification which can

help you find a job straight out of high school If

attending college after high school the academy model

may help you decide on a college major and career

Will Academies change the curriculum being taught The core courses are the same courses based on the same AKS (educational standards) Teachers are en-couraged to use examples research reading passages and projects based on the studentrsquos interest and Acad-emy themes

STEPS TO THE REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR RISING 9TH GRADERS

Step one Select your academy

Each of the four academies will present information to you during the Academy Orientation on Monday February 9th Pick the Academy that best fits your future plans Course content and advisement will be tailored to your selection What if your interests change as you progress through high school Each year during the registration process you will have an opportunity to change your academy selection Information for each academy including the pathways and pathway courses is included in this booklet

Step two Choose your pathway

Each Academy includes several career pathways A pathway is defined as three elective units in a coherent sequence that includes rigorous content aligned with industry-related standards leading to college and work readiness The courses included in each pathway are listed in this booklet

Select the pathway within your academy which best matches your career interests You should begin your pathway no later than your 10th grade year You do not have to take the first course for you pathway during your 9th grade year

Step three Choose your electives

Next you will select four elective courses to take your 9th grade year You must register for Introduction to Lifetime FitnessHealth as this is a state graduation requirement

If you are currently participating in band or orchestra see your teacher to make sure you sign up for the appropriate course

If you already have a strong career interest you may sign up for the first course in your selected pathway (pathway course are listed with each Academy) If you are unsure of your specific career interest we recommend that you take the elective course High School Transitions (see Elective Course Offerings for more details)

Step four Register for core classes
