Wootton High School 

Academy of Information Technology

Overview

The Academy of Information Technology (AOIT) at Wootton High School is a program of study that introduces students to the broad career opportunities available in today’s digital workforce. The program equips students with personal analytical, technical, and communication skills needed for success. By providing a new context for learning, the academy helps build the motivation, confidence, and sense of personal worth that will help students from all backgrounds to succeed in high school and beyond. The academy serves students of all abilities. 

Most students apply to join in winter of 8th grade. Current 9th graders who are already enrolled in a course that meets one of the pathway requirements may apply to join in early fall of 9th grade (if space is available). Applications open in early January for the next school year.

Students take at least one course during each year of school. The Networking pathway involves preparation for the CompTIA A+ certification and the CCENT or Network+ certification. To earn the National Academy Foundation's (NAF - our national parent organization) NAFTrack Certification, students must complete an 80-hour internship or work based learning experience(usually in the summer between their junior and senior years).
