Grades 8 – 12
College & Careers
A division for students who want their last years of school to count toward something specific — college credit, a career pathway, or both at once.
The Division
School that points somewhere
From Grade 8, students can enroll in Discovery Preparatory Academy for College & Careers alongside their core coursework. It exists for a simple reason: the years between thirteen and eighteen are the ones in which a young person begins to suspect what they might be for, and a school ought to be useful at exactly that moment.
Students take dual-credit coursework, follow career pathways, and build the professional skills that a first employer will quietly assume they already have. Leadership development runs through all of it.
What It Offers
Four pathways to what comes next
Dual Credit & Early College Pathways
Students earn college credit while still in high school through dual-credit coursework and early college partnerships — a head start on a degree, and on the cost of one.
Advanced Academic Programs
Honors, Advanced Placement (AP), and Gifted & Talented (GT) coursework for students ready to be challenged and to compete at the highest level.
STEM & Career and Technical Education
Hands-on STEM and Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways that connect classroom learning to real fields, real industries, and real credentials.
College, Career & Military Readiness
Targeted preparation for the ACT, SAT, and ASVAB, with advising for college admission, career entry, and military pathways — so every graduate leaves with a plan.
