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.
A COMMITMENT TO MAKE SAN ANTONIO SCHOOLS THE SAFEST IN AMERICA
With support from and in collaboration with our partner independent school districts, CAST Schools launches the, "Accelerated Pandemic Suppression System," with Community Labs and designates CAST Schools as COVID Safety Zones. Frequent screening will help identify asymptomatic carriers and help keep non-carriers free of the virus and healthy.
