College & Career Readiness

COLLEGE & CAREER READINESS

CASA's College and Career Readiness program is designed to connect students to post-secondary opportunities including colleges and universities, trade and technical schools, military service, apprenticeships, or workforce training. Students are provided with a variety of experiences which will help them decide on a successful career pathway that pursues lifelong learning and productive citizenship. CASA's artistic and academic disciplines embed the Pennsylvania Career and Work Standards into their individual curriculums. Additional activities are planned throughout the year to assist every student in developing an individualized career plan.

In accordance with state requirements, students are required to complete a minimum of eight activities which demonstrate College and Career Readiness by the end of their junior year.
