Career Academies

The Career Academies at Sylvandale Middle School are small learning communities offering a pre-college preparatory curriculum  with a focus on Health Careers and STEAM Careers.  Within each Academy, students complete a traditional course of work and participate in a variety of enrichment activities, gaining skills, as well as, exposure to a variety of career opportunities.  Highly qualified teachers  from different subjects work closely together, creating a challenging and engaging environment where close student-teacher relationships are formed.  

Each Career Academy is a two year program. Students are expected to remain in their chosen academy for two full years.  Students take the required core courses with a focus on the career theme of their particular academy.  Academic courses are at grade level with support intervention if necessary,
