Career Academy High School We are a tuition-free public charter school serving grades 6-12. Hands-on education w/ Microsoft IT training, biomedical science, engineering, and more!

Career Academy is a college and career-focused middle school and high school. It opened in August, 2011 with 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. We've grown to accept enrollment in grades 6-12 and have opened a second campus to serve grades K-5 at the Success Academy in South Bend. We believe project-based learning is advantageous for two reasons. First, project-based learning appeals to students who do not already have a strong academic orientation. Second, project-based learning is beneficial for the development of work-oriented skills, including the ability to work in teams, personal initiative, leadership, and communication skills. We implement hands-on project-based instruction at every grade level. Students are required to complete all courses required by Indiana’s academic standards and have the opportunity to receive dual credit in classes as they progress through school with significant opportunities (including internships, co-ops, job shadows, informational interviews, etc.) available in the junior and senior years.

🌟 Teacher of the Week: Maddi Daniel 🌟

This week’s Teacher of the Week is Maddi Daniel!

Ms. Daniel has been part of the Career Academy family since the very beginning. Over the years, she has dedicated herself to helping students grow, learn, and prepare for their futures.

Her favorite course to teach is ELA Labs, where she enjoys helping students strengthen their literacy skills and gain confidence in reading, writing, and communication.

Outside of school, Ms. Daniel enjoys spending time with her family. She is married and has three children, one dog, and three reptiles, making for a fun and lively household. Her love for family is matched by her commitment to supporting students and celebrating their successes.

When asked about her proudest school moment, Ms. Daniel shared that it is every graduation day. Watching students walk across the stage and achieve a milestone they have worked so hard for is a reminder of why she loves being an educator and part of the Career Academy community.

Some of her favorite things include seafood and tacos, Nerd Clusters, and Sour Patch Kids. Her favorite movies include Practical Magic and Pretty Woman, and when it’s time to relax, she enjoys watching Friends and Schitt’s Creek.

Teacher of the Week: Ms. Michele Dorvil

Career Academy High School is proud to recognize Ms. Michele Dorvil as our Teacher of the Week! Please join us in celebrating her dedication to our students and school community.

Ms. Michele Dorvil has been a dedicated educator at Career Academy High School for the past five years, where she teaches in the Biomedical Pathway. While she enjoys inspiring students through science and healthcare-related courses, her favorite class she has ever taught is Entrepreneurship.
