ENSATS Program Overview
Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical School (ENSATS) and Swampscott High School offer a partnership program, "After Dark", to SHS students. This is an amazing opportunity for SHS students to study a vocational program while taking core academic classes at SHS. Interested students may apply to attend ENSATS for career technical & agricultural education during their junior and senior years and have the opportunity to earn 900+ Chapter 74 instructional hours and industry recognized credentials.
Four Career Technical Education Programs are being offered to Partnership Students. Each is aligned to Massachusetts CVTE Frameworks for the 25-26 school year:
Advanced Manufacturing
Construction Craft Labor
Health Assisting
Sustainable Horticulture
**Cooperative Education (Grade 12) Students who are in good standing may leave campus to work in paid positions in their fields beginning in February of their senior year.
