What makes CAST different?
- Students select a school based on interest, set personal goals and co-create their school experience, informed by industry professionals and other partners.
- Young people tackle real-world problems with input from employers and alongside mentors from the field.
- Academics are integrated with career and technical education in a curriculum that combines project-based, personalized, and work-based learning.
- A focus on projects, research, labs, and experiences in the workplace and local community frees teachers to act as coaches and mentors.
- Students want to be makers and doers, and will thrive in a hands-on setting informed by student voice and choice.
