Real Learning for Real Life
SIATech Schools is a network of public charter high schools that use technology and personalized learning experiences to prepare at-promise students for college, career, and life.
Inspired by the knowledge that no single achievement in a young person’s life is more predictive of adult success than graduating from high school, SIATech Schools has helped over 17,000 young people earn their high school diplomas since opening its doors in 1998. SIATech High Schools is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The California Department of Education (CDE) has named SIATech Schools as one of its top high schools with a California Distinguished School Award for demonstrating significant gains in narrowing the achievement gap.
“Young people who do not graduate high school are less likely to be employed, earn less income, have worse health and lower life expectancy, are less likely to be civically engaged, and are more likely to be involved with the criminal justice system and require social services. Without some training beyond high school, securing a stable, well-paying job is very unlikely.”
