The Academies of Louisville
The Academies of Louisville prepare, inspire, and empower students by offering meaningful and relevant learning experiences that directly relate to our world today. By connecting high schools to business and community partners, the Academy model aligns education and workforce development needs to better prepare students for postsecondary and career success. Beyond graduating ready to compete in an ever-changing 21st-century economy, Academy students develop the essential skills they need to succeed throughout college, careers, and life.
The diverse course and extra-curricular offerings available to students at Ballard High School are essential in the holistic development of the student. Our three upper level Academies have been intentionally established to support all students by enhancing the learning experience through real-world experiences, exploration of possible future careers, and dual credit opportunities. Each Pathway within these Academies follows a four-course sequence that provides students with the opportunity for job shadowing and possible internships. The video to the right gives an overview of the upper level Academies that Ballard has to offer.
