Expanded Learning

Research shows programs that inte­grate career-focused activities into learn­ing, often improve grad­u­a­tion rates and pro­mote high­er post­sec­ondary par­tic­i­pa­tion.  Recognizing the dual benefit of exposure and access to work-based learning opportunities towards the development of behavioral norms and self-esteem, FTA incorporates work based learning opportunities into the student's schedule every school year.  

Through  partnership with the city/county leaders, community partners and corporations, FTA students are assigned to a job site. Students earn grades and credit toward graduation during their freshman and sophomore years. Studejts then progress to paid internships during their junior and senior years if they have maintained an overall worksite performance score of 80% or higher. 

Our academic programs are designed to challenge and engage students at all levels. We offer a comprehensive curriculum that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, as well as programs for students with diverse learning needs. Our experienced faculty and staff are dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential.
