About Emerald Campus
As we approach class selection for the 2018-19 school year at the high school level, the vision for Dublin City Schools Emerald Campus will be shared with the community in many different ways.
In order to be a world-class organization, Dublin City Schools needs to dedicate resources to staying on the cutting edge of technology, workforce development, educational methodologies, and the latest, best thinking on a wide variety of topics.
At the Emerald Campus, our focus will be to empower students to take ownership of their learning and future. We will offer a variety of innovative and unique educational options to meet the individual interests and needs of students beyond the traditional classroom through our Career Exploration Academies. In addition to the academies listed below, many other academies will be developed as we go forward.
Next year, we will offer the academies listed below at the Emerald Campus.
