The
Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHSS) provides a unique,
focused, and rigorous educational program for each student who
chooses to attend. This section provides students, parents, and
members of the community information regarding specific courses
which have been carefully crafted into a comprehensive educational
program or "program of studies."
Integrated
Curriculum - The Future
At
Connecticut Technical High Schools, new and exciting educational
experiences are happening. Talented
and creative academic and technical teachers at Connecticut Technical
High Schools are working together to develop applied and integrated
lessons. Academic and technology projects are requiring students
to engage in real life problem solving, increase the variety of
texts read, develop their oral communication skills and writing
skills. Research is proving that students learn better and retain
concepts longer when they are educated using an applied and integrated
curriculum. The development of this unique and rigorous curriculum
prepares graduates of Connecticut Technical High Schools for immediate
employment, or entry into apprenticeship programs, as well as
two-year and four-year colleges, and lifelong learning.
Ninth
grade students are given the opportunity to explore all the technical
programs offered at the school. The core technical program that
is chosen by students at the end of the exploratory experience
provides the framework for their technical and academic coursework
in Grades 10 through 12. To design and implement an appropriate
educational and career plan, it is important that students and
parents carefully review the contents of this section and also
work closely with the school's professional staff.
Please
contact any Connecticut Technical High School
principal if you have questions regarding the Program
of Studies or should you need additional information.

Pathway
to Lifelong Learning
Connecticut
Technical High Seniors who have applied themselves to their
four-year program of study find they have a variety of post-high
school options. Many college-bound students gain acceptance
at multiple colleges and universities, both private and public,
in state and out-of-state.
The
Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHSS) is committed
to providing quality and challenging academic and technical programs.
To be successful in the workplace, to take advantage of postsecondary
educational opportunities, or to secure advanced apprenticeship
training, students must graduate from CTHSS with strong academic
and technical backgrounds. Therefore, the CTHSS has developed
a challenging program of study for each technical program. Each
program of study meets or exceeds state-mandated graduation requirements
and prepares students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills
that they require as reflected in Connecticut's Common Core
of Learning.
It
is very important for each student to work closely with his/her
counselor to carefully consider the available options and to develop
a comprehensive and sequential educational career plan. |
