Academies are small learning communities comprising groups of students within public schools.
About the National Academy Foundation Program
The Academy model consists of three critical components:
• A career-themed small learning community comprises the resources, leadership, and support needed to sustain the
Academy and features curriculum designed, reviewed, and updated regularly by a team of educators and industry experts.
• Community partnerships include the collaboration between the school and the larger community, toward the development
of local advisory boards and paid student internships—a critical factor in connecting the “real world” to classroom study.
• Professional Development ensures that all stakeholders have regular opportunities to enhance their academy related
skills and competencies through conferences, technical assistance materials, and other local activities.
