Academies are smaller learning communities within a high school. Career Academies incorporate features such as integration of academic and career-related curriculum, team-teaching, and business involvement.  National studies show that Academies have a positive impact on student performance, including improved attendance, higher grades, improved graduation rates and higher college-bound rates. Academies emphasize motivational and real-world activities including hands-on projects, business mentoring, internships and field trips.
