Career and Technical Education
Middle and high school are the perfect time for your child to start thinking about their future—and we’re here to help them prepare for it. In addition to core academic courses, TNVA students in grades 7–12 can take career-focused classes to explore different interests and discover what they enjoy most.
As they work toward earning their high school diploma, students can develop real-world skills and explore potential careers. Whether your child wants to start a job right after graduation or head to college, these experiences can help them make more confident choices—like picking the right college major or training program that fits their goals.
