Business Wire
With demand for online school options at an all-time high,
enrollment is now open for the 2022-2023 school year at Hoosier
College and Career Academy (Hoosier), a full-time, public-school
program for Indiana students in grades 7-12.
Sponsored by Ball State University, Hoosier provides students
with a standards-aligned curriculum facilitated by highly qualified
Indiana-certified teachers, from the safety of the student’s homes
or anywhere with an internet connection. And with the school’s
unique career-focused approach, students can pair a solid academic
foundation with hands-on learning experiences in career
exploration.
In addition to core classes, Hoosier will offer pathways for
students to earn a high school diploma that meets the Indiana
Graduation Pathways requirements. Students will have the
opportunity to gain industry recognized certifications, including
associate degrees, and gain relevant work experience in a growing
field by participating in real-world learning experiences. Options
will include in-person or virtual internships, externships, summer
jobs, and apprenticeships. Most real-world experiences will take
place during students’ junior and senior years or during summer
breaks and industry partnerships and will be built by dedicated
staff members and members of an Industry Advisory Council. Career
counselors will be charged with matching students to real-world
learning opportunities.
Hoosier Pathways include Business and Marketing, IT, Health, and
Intro to Human and Social Services.
According to labor market data from Indeed.com, nearly 4,000 job
openings posted in Indiana in the last year require an education
level less than a bachelor’s degree. And with almost 1M Indiana
residents carrying over $30 billion in student loan debt, Hoosier
is available at a time when families need learning options that
will strengthen students’ future educational prospects.
“Our mission is to provide personalized, virtual learning
opportunities to all Indiana students regardless of circumstances
and abilities. And at Hoosier, we want to prepare students for
personal and professional success,” said Head of School David
Rarick. “As an online school with a proven track record of success
as part of its curriculum, Hoosier is proud to introduce families
to a learning environment that meets their needs today and sets
them on a path for a bright future.”
Hoosier’s curriculum is provided by Stride, Inc., an education
leader with more than 20 years of experience delivering online
education to students across the country. Stride has worked with
schools and districts across all 50 states to help develop local
solutions to meet personalized online and blended learning
