Texas
CAN! Academies
TEXANS
CAN! has nine high schools under its
umbrella in five
Texas
cities. Chartered by the
State of
Texas, these public high schools
recover academically at-risk youth who have either dropped out or at risk
of dropping out of school. TEXANS CAN! is
fully certified to award both high school diplomas and GED's
(General Educational Development certificate).
The
year-round curriculum is offered tuition-free.
TEXANS
CAN! is a school of choice that offers
small, half-day, classes. Each student attends this open-enrollment public
school on a voluntary basis. A solid focus on creating a nurturing
environment where learning can take place makes the TEXANS CAN! model
unique. The model includes a strong counseling program with a 35 to 1
student to counselor ration and an 18 to 1 student to teacher ratio. The
curriculum allows academies to provide individual assessment for each
student and a customized program that enables them to catch-up.
Surveys
of graduates show that about 67% of graduates go on to higher education,
including community colleges, technical/trade schools and four year
colleges. More than 16% get jobs after graduation and over 5% join a
branch of military service.
