Programs of Study Adoption Overview

The diversity of Hawai`i Academies (HA) member schools is reflected in the diversity of programs of study that they have developed or adopted for implementation in a smaller learning community setting. This diversity includes programs of study found in traditional schools as well as those that reflect the career focused smaller learning community academies found in most of the member schools.

This section documents programs of study that many Hawai`i Academies member schools have in common. However, while this commonality exists, they may differ in content as the development and implantation of these programs are often unique to individual schools. Information presented provides the opportunity to align common programs that can provide development and operational efficiencies and student management flexibilities.

This overview provides a synopsis on the career pathways implemented by Hawaii school academies and the number adopted. This process is currently in progress as schools if necessary, are concurrently in the process of aligning their pathways to Advance CTE defined pathways. Adoption details will be available when this effort is completed.

NOTE: Program counts below are subject to change as schools develop and refine their programs of study pathway definitions and academy adoptions.
