Overview:

The Academy of Information Technology (AOIT) at Bryan Station High school is committed to preparing students for the rigorous academic and work demands of post-secondary institutions and the workplace by:

• addressing 21^st century skills,
• having a well-rounded technology and core content curriculum, and
• providing graduating students with an edge in today’s competitive global economy by making connections with industry businesses in the community.

As a member of the National Academy Foundation (www.naf.org), the program is structured to ensure all students will benefit from a small learning community approach in which teachers are teamed in order to best address the needs of the individual student.  This four-year program will provide students with elective courses focused on the skills needed in information technology careers as well as embedding technology and other work-place skills in the core content areas. 

Students will study topics such as web design, digital video & media, programming, networking, database and computer systems.  Along with focused coursework, students will also have opportunities to participate in a paid internship between their junior and senior years, as well as participate in field trips, mentoring, community projects, and more.
