Why Join an Academy?

An Academy is a “school within a high school” that offers structured, personalized learning through career-related, project based classes. Academy students have opportunities to earn college credit through Dual Enrollment classes and industry certifications. Academy students also have opportunities for field studies, classroom industry leader speakers, summer internships which connect them to our community business partners. Academy classes are classified as academic elective courses and students will have the potential to graduate with special distinctions that are unique to Academies

The Academies @ PVHS

The Academy of Biotechnology and Medical Research will seek to engage, excite, and educate students about the promise and challenges of biotechnology through inquiry-based methods of instruction, advanced curriculum, and research-based learning while addressing social and ethical issues in one of Florida’s and the nation’s premier growth industries.

The Academy of International Business and The Academy of International Marketing are two separate and unique programs that are devoted to providing students with an internationally focused curriculum that will enable them to compete in an increasingly global economy. The curriculum is designed to give students the foundation, insight, and knowledge to conduct the functions of business processes in a global arena.

SPONSORED BY CITI
The Academy of Information Technology will provide students with a foundation of knowledge and technically oriented experiences in the high demand and increasingly diverse IT field.
