Welcome to a new adventure in learning—the Grassfield High School Technology Academy. This Technology Academy represents an exciting new initiative in academic choices for Chesapeake Public Schools’ students.
The Technology Academy opened its doors to approximately 55 students as a school within-a-school in September 2008 and features a cutting-edge curriculum especially designed for students with an interest in and talent for technology. Students will have multiple opportunities for taking advanced courses, and sampling such special programs as mentorship and internship.
The innovative learning environment of the Technology Academy also provides students the added advantage of combining academic and technical training that prepares them for a variety of post-graduate choices: entry-level jobs, advanced technology training, or college or university studies.
Students are drawn from across the city and may choose to pursue the Standard Diploma Program or the Advanced Diploma Program. Students attending the Technology Academy take core academic courses as well as technology elective courses from one or more of the three strands: pre-engineering, information technology, and entrepreneurship. Admission to the program is through an application process. Applications are due each schoolyear on January 15.
