Curriculum Areas
CAREER &
TECHNICAL SCHOOL
Career & Technical
School programs provide
education for the
development of occupational
skills and aptitudes so that
each individual may be
properly educated as a
competent worker and
responsible citizen. The
aims of the Career &
Technical School programs
are:
-
To acquire skills for
employment
-
To provide practical
experience while learning
-
To prepare for further
trade, technical and/ or
advanced training
-
To provide credit toward
graduation from high school
-
To appreciate the world of
work
Students receive four
credits for each year of
successful study in a Career
& Technical School program.
College credit may also be
earned through some of the
programs.
A decision to enter a Career
& Technical School program
should be made carefully
since Schenectady City
School District must pay
tuition for students who
take these courses. Also it
is not always possible to
provide other courses to
replace a dropped vocational
course once the school year
is underway.
Students are urged to visit
the programs they are
interested in to help them
understand the courses and
the expectations of the
program, before they decide
to attend. School Counselors
have more information about
each program and can arrange
visits.
