Career Path High is a Blended Learning Early College Charter High School – the first of it’s kind in Utah! Charter schools are public schools and are part of the Utah public education system. Career Path High was authorized by the Davis Technical College (Davis Tech), an a Institution of Higher Education, and approved by the Utah State Board of Education on February 8, 2013.

Career Path High is a public high school serving students in grades 9-12. Like all public schools, charters are open to every student regardless of race, religion, academic ability, or special needs. Charter schools provide students and their parents with choices and options that may better fit their individual needs and learning styles. Unlike traditional public schools, charters have no enrollment boundaries. We welcome all students!

No. We are a tuition-free, publicly funded school.

The Flex model we have adopted will empower students over their own personalized learning path in a way that allows them to enroll in college while simultaneously attending high school. Our team of highly qualified teachers will get to know each student’s individualized learning style and academic needs. Through one-to-one interaction and rich data that informs instruction, teachers are able to constantly monitor progress and adjust student instruction accordingly. 

With our model, the teachers role is transcended. Rather than spending their time delivering the curriculum in traditional classroom style the curriculum is delivered online, freeing up the teacher to provide mentoring and tutoring to students both individually and in groups. 

Our model combines online learning with interactions in face-to-face settings with teachers and administrators. Blended learning provides control over time, place, path and pace and allows students to take charge of their own learning. The flexibility of this model is essential for allowing our students to successfully obtain both their high school diploma and a Career and Technical Certification upon graduation.

Yes. Because of the technology rich nature of our school, all students will be issued a laptop that travels with them to allow them to engage in their coursework anytime, anywhere. Laptops are school property and may only be used for school purposes

At Career Path High we are reinventing secondary education! We are not a traditional high school. We do not operate in a traditional setting of classrooms and bell schedules. 

Instead, Career Path High has a Learning Center. This is a place where students may come for a variety of purposes; including but not limited to face-to-face instruction with teachers, peer-to-peer collaboration, project-based learning, scheduled teacher instruction, presentations, tutoring, club meetings or simply because they prefer the atmosphere of the Learning Center to do their online coursework and to socialize with other students.

No. Our blended learning model and online curriculum provide maximum flexibility over time, place, path and pace. As students exercise personal responsibility, they are empowered over their own learning style. This means students can work anywhere as long as they are staying on pace with their coursework. If they prefer to work primarily at home, they can. 

If the teacher becomes concerned with a student’s progress, they may require that student to be at the Learning Center for scheduled periods of time. If students prefer to work primarily in the Learning Center, they can.

At Career Path High the role of the teacher changes from a primary focus on synchronous curriculum delivery to a focus on individualized instruction customized to every student. Teachers will have regularly scheduled office hours daily. Whether remotely or in person at the Learning Center, students will be able to access their teachers during those times. Teachers will be available to assist students individually in a variety of ways using both technology and face-to-face instruction.

Our students will enroll in a chosen Career and Technical Program offered by the Davis Tech. That college experience will enhance their high school learning and make it more meaningful. All course work, whether hands-on or online, will help students progress toward completion, mastery, certification and job placement. Students are expected to graduate from Career Path High with a high school diploma and a completed industry-based technical certificate. We believe that the right blend of digital curriculum, high school and Davis Tech hands-on mentored training, and appropriate use of technology will give students a personalized pathway to a diploma and career certification that leads to job placement in Utah’s modern work force with a higher wage and greater success in college.
