Career Academy is a college and career-focused middle school and high school. It opened in August, 2011 with 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. We've grown to accept enrollment in grades 6-12 and have opened a second campus to serve grades K-5 at the Success Academy in South Bend.
We believe project-based learning is advantageous for two reasons. First, project-based learning appeals to students who do not already have a strong academic orientation. Second, project-based learning is beneficial for the development of work-oriented skills, including the ability to work in teams, personal initiative, leadership, and communication skills. We implement hands-on project-based instruction at every grade level.
Students are required to complete all courses required by Indiana’s academic standards and have the opportunity to receive dual credit in classes as they progress through school with significant opportunities (including internships, co-ops, job shadows, informational interviews, etc.) available in the junior and senior years.
The Career Academy’s mission is to prepare our students to become
productive and contributing members of society by combining
innovative academic learning with college, career and world changing education. Career Academy sees strengths in students with a goal for developing the unique gifts and abilities each possesses.
