New Public-School Program Will Set Students on
Path to Education – and Career – Success
With demand for online school options at an all-time high,
enrollment is now open for the 2022-2023 school year at Digital
Academy of Texas (DATX), a new full-time, public-school program for
Texas students in grades 5-12.
Sponsored by the Texarkana Independent School District, DATX
will provide students with a standards-aligned curriculum
facilitated by highly qualified Texas-certified teachers, from the
safety of their 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, students at DATX can take
career-focused electives to explore their options in high-demand
fields such as Arts, Technology, Business, Health Services, and IT.
And students can work towards resume-building certificates such as
Adobe, CompTIA; Microsoft Office Specialist, QuickBooks, and
more.
According to labor market data from Indeed.com, more than
310,000 job openings posted in Texas in the last year require an
education level less than a bachelor’s degree. And with 3.6M Texas
residents carrying nearly $118 billion in student loan debt, DATX
is opening at a time when families need learning options that will
strengthen students’ future educational prospects.
“When it comes to public education in Texas, students need
options that will prepare them for personal and professional
success,” said Head of School Melissa Robinette. “As an online
school with a proven track record of success as part of its
curriculum, DATX is proud to introduce families to a learning
environment that meets their needs today and sets them on a path
for a bright future.”
DATX’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
goals.
Enrollment at Digital Academy of Texas is now open for the
