Curriculum
- Introduction to Information Technology

- Technical Support/Networking
- Advanced Web/Digital Media
- Internship
These broad courses let you...the student...decide what place in the computer world is right you. Programming isn't your thing, but art is? No problem, the digital media class should suit you perfectly. The internship at the end will give you the chance to actually work in a real technology workplace. This gives you the opportunity to get hands on experience that you otherwise couldn't get in a high school education.
Also, the academy gives wonderful opportunities to achieve college credit. Throughout your enrollment you will have the opportunity to earn 24 college credits. Not only will these jumpstart your college education, but also will save you time and money when the time comes.
