The Academy model provides a comprehensive education that ensures students are even better prepared for life after graduation.
Published: 31 minutes agoAs someone deeply invested in our students’ success and our community’s future, I believe the Academies of Anchorage model represents a crucial step toward achieving greater equity across our school district. This innovative approach to education can help level the playing field for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, by providing relevant, engaging learning experiences that prepare them for college and careers.
The Academy model transforms the traditional high school experience by incorporating career-related classes or pathways. Whether a student is interested in health care, engineering, construction, information technology, or law, there is an academy designed to provide them with a head start on that career path. The model includes vocational training options but also includes highly challenging academic and technical curriculum.
The Academy model addresses this issue by providing a more standardized, equitable approach to education. By offering academies across the district, all students have the opportunity to participate in classes that align with their career goals and interests. This helps to close the opportunity gap and ensures that every student is prepared for success after graduation, whether that means pursuing higher education or entering the workforce.
