Steinmetz Career and Leadership Academy

STEINMETZ CAREER & LEADERSHIP ACADEMY (SCLA)

It is increasingly more important to, not only develop content knowledge, but to acquire skills that support the manipulation of content such as critical thinking, digital literacy, effective communication, and creative thinking.  Steinmetz Career and Leadership Academy (SCLA) offers students opportunity to acquire those skills through work-based learning experience options.  In the process, students develop in-depth understandings of careers as they simultaneously enhance their leadership qualities. 

SCLA provides innovative approaches to instructional delivery for students who have preferences for non-traditional access to learning.  Students play contributing roles in the planning and implementation of their own instruction.  Students develop into true problem solvers in and out of the classroom.  Nevertheless, their skills are evaluated by technical assessments based upon recognized industry and national standards, which are essential tools in career and technical education programs.  In addition to earning high school graduation credits, they have the opportunity to earn credits for completed college coursework and/or advanced standing at a postsecondary institution or program after high school graduation.

Main campus students can partially enroll at SCLA to take any of the Programs/Pathways at SCLA. Transportation between the two campuses is provided. See your counselor for more information.
