CAST Schools Network: Reinventing Schooling for Maximum Student Options
CAST Schools Network is a network of career-themed public high schools and one PK-12 Academy that is dedicated to reinventing schooling to maximize options for students. The network was founded in 2012 by Dr. Eddie Rodriguez, who saw the need for a new approach to education that would better prepare students for the workforce.
The CAST Schools Network currently operates five schools in San Antonio, Texas, each with its own unique career theme: CAST Tech High School (technology), CAST STEM High School (science, technology, engineering and math), Advanced Learning Academy (gifted and talented), Brackenridge High School (healthcare) and Lanier High School (advanced manufacturing). Each school offers a rigorous academic program combined with hands-on learning experiences that are designed to prepare students for college or careers.
At CAST Schools Network, we believe that every student has the potential to succeed if given the right tools and opportunities. That's why we focus on providing our students with personalized learning experiences that meet their individual needs. Our teachers are trained to use innovative teaching methods such as project-based learning, blended learning and competency-based education.
We also believe in giving our students real-world experience through internships, apprenticeships and other work-based learning opportunities. This helps them develop the skills they need to succeed in today's rapidly changing job market.
One of the key features of our schools is our partnership with local businesses and organizations. We work closely with these partners to provide our students with access to industry experts who can offer guidance on career paths and help them make connections within their chosen field.
Another important aspect of our approach is our commitment to equity. We believe that every student deserves an equal opportunity to succeed regardless of their background or circumstances. That's why we offer a range of support services such as counseling, tutoring and mentoring programs.
Our results speak for themselves - over 90% of our graduates go on to college or careers within six months of graduation. We are proud to have been recognized as one of the most innovative school networks in the country by organizations such as EdSurge and The Learning Accelerator.
In conclusion, CAST Schools Network is a unique and innovative approach to education that is focused on preparing students for success in college and careers. Our personalized learning experiences, real-world work opportunities, partnerships with local businesses and commitment to equity make us stand out from other schools.
