At Roots Learning Academy, we believe high school should be about exploring interests and careers to prepare for your future. We strive to give every student an opportunity to focus on their strengths and learn real-life skills.
Starting in 7th & 8th grades, we begin to find the strengths of each student. In 9th grade, they will choose a path and a focus within that path. We will then help create a personalized education plan and goals for their entire high school career with us, designed to prepare each student for their future.
Together we will put together a career focus for your student. They will explore what the steps are to finding a job in a certain area, complete career studies to ensure that is something they are truly interested in, and take part in real business internships to fully understand what the career entails.
