Pathways & Academies
Career Technical Education Pathways produce college- and career-ready graduates with pertinent academic, career, creative and innovative thinking skills. Oakland Tech is committed to ensuring all scholars engage in a CTE-approved Pathway, embodied in our five Academies. Our curriculum engages our advisory boards comprised of business and industry partners to ensure we are teaching 21st century skills.

Scholars are introduced to the Academies during 9th grade and join an Academy in 10th grade. Also see our programs, such as Paideia and Performing Arts. In most instances, students may participate in both a program and a Pathway.
