Academic and Career Planning, or ACP, is a student-driven, adult-supported process in which students create and cultivate their own unique, information-based visions for post-secondary success, developed through self-exploration, career exploration, and the development of career management and planning skills.
The term ACP refers to both a process that helps students engage in academic and career development activities and a product created and maintained to support students’ academic, career, and personal advancement.
ACP is a student-driven, ongoing process that actively engages students, enabling them to:
Understand their own interests, strengths, values, and learning styles,
Create a vision of their future,
Develop individual goals, and
Prepare a personal plan for achieving their vision and goals.
MISSION: Empowering ALL students to travel the road TO adulthood THROUGH education and training to careers.
VISION: Re-imagining K12 education to equip students:
With meaningful and supportive adult relationships
And the ability to adapt to opportunities and challenges
On their personalized journeys to successful lives.

What are employers saying about the candidates they are looking for in various fields? More than ever, post-secondary options are about the “right fit” for students. ACP is about helping students and families plan, as much as possible, for that fit.
