What is Life After SPA?

At Sarah Pyle Academy, our mission is not just to get our students a diploma, but for each and every student to reach beyond that diploma, what we call "Life After SPA." Our Career and College planning is focused around each student's personal interests and strengths. With help from our Transition Coordinator, we will help students figure out what they want to do, find programs and schools that will help give students the training they need, apply to post secondary programs, apply for financial aid. and help students who are going on to further education register for coursework in college or trade programs.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• Where do you see yourself five years from now? How about 10 years from now?

• What kind of house do you want to live in? Do you want a car? What kind hobbies do you want to be able to afford?

• What sort of work do you imagine yourself doing? What are you good at?

All of these questions are essential to figuring out what you want to do with your Life After SPA. Whether you continue your education, get training for a trade, enter the military, or go right into the workforce, our goal is for you to be able to achieve your dreams, whatever they may be.
