The Goose Creek CISD Career Academies are small learning communities within larger campuses that focus on a career theme. Academy students take classes as a group (cohort) which provides students the opportunity to attend classes with other students with similar interests.
Academic classes integrate the career theme into assignments, with projects that span across multiple subjects. Students learn from a rigorous curriculum, which includes opportunities for Advanced Placement (AP) courses, dual credit courses, career-oriented courses, and college and career learning opportunities directly related to the career theme. Enrichment activities that help students learn more about college and career opportunities are provided each semester and culminate in a senior capstone experience that may include internships, practicums, mentoring or other career-based experiences.
All 8th grade students may apply to any of the Goose Creek CISD Academies regardless of the high school to which they are zoned. Please see the High School Options Page for more information.
