Where is Career Path High located?
Career Path High is located within the Davis Technical College Campus in Kaysville, Utah.

In addition to having the flexibility to work at home or remotely, students will attend a nurturing Learning Center with state-of-the art facilities.

Our Model
-
Can you tell me more about Career Path High's model?
Our blended learning model removes restrictions and limitations that formerly have been defined by bell schedules and seat-time requirements of traditional models.
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 much of their time delivering the curriculum in traditional classroom style the curriculum is delivered online and in person, 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.
-
Does the school assign a computer for student use?
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
-
What does the instructional day look like?
At Career Path High we are reinventing secondary education! We have created a learning schedule that provides whole class, small group, and focused one-on-one instruction.
Our instructional day is not just limited to face-to-face instruction with teachers, we also support peer-to-peer collaboration, project-based learning, scheduled small groups, presentations, tutoring, club meetings, and more.
-
Do students attend campus every day?
Our blended learning model and online curriculum provide 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 school or an instructor becomes concerned with a student’s progress, students will be placed on support plans that require attendance.
If students prefer to work primarily in the Learning Center, they can.
-
How do students access their teachers when they are not on campus?
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.
-
How will parents/guardians be notified of their student's progress and grades?
At Career Path High we consider parents/guardians to be partners in their student’s education! Through our technology they will be able to log in and view their student’s performance in real-time. Parents will have direct access to their student’s academic information through their Aspire parent account and Canvas observer account. This will provide them with an up-to-date overview of their student’s grades and progress in every course. Progress Reports will be mailed to parents/guardians at the end of each quarter and will be provided at regularly scheduled Parent Teacher Conferences.

Can you tell me more about the Early College aspect of Career Path High?
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 workforce with a higher wage and greater success in college.
