What is Destinations?
Destinations Career Academies and Programs combine traditional high school academics with Career Technical Education (CTE). These industry-relevant, career-focused courses* give students an education that prepares them to be college- and workforce-ready. Students can study subjects in career fields that interest them such as business, health science, manufacturing, information technology, and more.*
K12-powered Destinations schools and programs are tuition-free** and are offered online. Students attend online academic classes and can take part in extracurricular activities, such as hands-on projects and competitions, for practical training.
