An Ohio online public school is giving students in grades 6 through 12 access to weekly Friday clubs that include music, debate, yoga and sports, according to information reported by Pathfinder Career Academy of Ohio.
The school said the clubs operate alongside a career-connected curriculum in which students explore industries, earn industry-recognized credentials and build professional portfolios before graduation.
Pathfinder Career Academy of Ohio reported that every school day begins at 8:00 a.m. with live virtual classes taught by certified Ohio teachers. Students take five to six classes depending on grade level and needs, each 50 minutes long with built-in small group instruction time.
The school said career exploration begins in 6th grade, with students working in chosen career-focused academies while completing core academics. Career Tech Student Organizations give students chances to compete at state and national levels in their chosen fields.
Pathfinder Career Academy of Ohio said it is the only online, tuition-free public career-technical school in the state, serving students across Ohio and recognized by the Ohio Department of Education.
