High School Academics
Curriculum That Unlocks Possibilities
Destinations Career Academy of Oregon knows success can look different for everyone, and the journey can take many turns. But no matter the path, we believe in unlocking every learner’s potential by meeting them where they are and helping them reach their goals.
Explore Our Courses
As students advance through high school, their work becomes increasingly independent. High school courses are designed for students targeting a four-year university, a local community college, or an immediate career.
Many core high school courses are offered at two levels: on-level and honors.
In both on-level and honors high school courses, students:
- Learn grade-level content
- Complete coursework that might require writing or
research projects - Tackle problems that require analytical thinking
In honors courses, students also:
- Evaluate and synthesize information
- Demonstrate more advanced writing skills
- Participate in honors projects
Preparing High School Students For College and Career
Your teen can gain a competitive edge for the future—whether that includes college, a career, or both. ORDCA gives students the opportunity to explore career options and participate in specialized, career-related experiences. They can also prepare to take industry-recognized certification exams upon graduation.**
Students can choose from a broad range of courses in our career and college prep program.
*The K12 high school catalog is a complete list of the high school courses K12 provides. While Destinations offers a comprehensive selection of courses, not every K12 high school course is available to Destinations students. Information on specific courses of study and available electives are provided upon enrollment. For details, please speak to an enrollment consultant during the enrollment process.
**Many Microsoft® Office certificates can be earned after completing one course. Other certificates require more classes to be better prepared, and students who attend Destinations for at least two years will have further exposure to career readiness education courses to be prepared for certification testing.
