Overview

Academic and Career Planning, or ACP, is a student-driven, adult supported process in which students create and cultivate their own unique and information-based visions for post secondary success, obtained through self-exploration, career exploration, and the development of career management and planning skills.

MISSION: Empowering ALL students to travel the road TO adulthood THROUGH education and training to careers.

VISION: Re-imagining K12 education to equip students:

  • With meaningful and supportive adult relationships
  • And the ability to adapt to opportunities and challenges
  • On their personalized journeys to successful lives.

The term ACP refers to both a process that helps students engage in academic and career development activities as well as a product that is created and maintained for students’ academic, career, and personal advancement.

ACP is a student-driven, ongoing process that actively engages students enabling them to:

  • Understand their own interests, strengths, values, learning styles,
  • Create a vision of their future,
  • Develop individual goals, and
  • Prepare a personal plan for achieving their vision and goals.
