The Academies at Stony Point
- A small learning community, comprising a group of students within the larger high school who take classes together for at least two years, taught by a team of teachers from different disciplines
- A college preparatory curriculum with a career theme, enabling students to see relationships among academic subjects and their application to a broad field of work
- Partnerships with employers, the community, and local colleges, bringing resources from outside the high school to improve student motivation and achievement.
Career academies differ from traditional academic and vocational education because they prepare high school students for both college and careers. Academies provide broad information about a field such as health care, finance, engineering, media, or natural resources. They weave this theme into an academic curriculum that prepares students for two year and four year institutes of higher education or for the world of work.
