Papillion-La Vista School District Academy Programs

 What are Academies?

·         Academies are small learning communities that are an extension, not a replacement, of the student high school  experience.

·         Students remain connected to their high school, allowing them to enroll in electives, AP courses and extracurricular activities.

·         Academies provide an opportunity for students to learn and explore career fields by integrating core academic education in an authentic workplace environment. 

·         Academies are located within high schools, businesses, or college campuses throughout the Papillion-La Vista community. 

·         Academies provide students with a jumpstart on post-secondary education & future plans.

·         Academies provide additional opportunities for ALL 11^th and 12^th grade students.
