Southwest Career and Technical Academy

Welcome to the Southwest Career and Technical Academy website. We are very proud of the eleven programs we are offering to the high school students in our community. The school is divided into two smaller learning communities – the Design Academy and the Professional Service Academy. Within the smaller learning communities, students share English, math, science, social studies, electives, and program classes with fellow students who share a common career interest. In the classroom, project-based learning activities will simulate real-world experiences, preparing the students for entry into the world of work, post-secondary training, or college and university life.

Shelbourne Avenue will be under construction just West of campus until further notice. The construction will be taking place during the afternoon pick-up time. Parents are encouraged to use Rainbow Blvd. to avoid the construction.

Yearbooks can be pre-ordered online by clicking on the Josten’s Yearbook Slideshow located on the SWCTA webpage, or at the school banking office.
