At District 214 we've developed an integrated approach to learning that embraces academic rigor driven by student interest and discovery in a career pathway. These learning opportunities expose students to a wide range of real-world experiences that challenge their intellectual curiosity to engage in a diverse and global society. D214 students receive mentoring and guidance from both teachers and industry leaders, allowing them to better understand and assess their skill sets and prepare them for a smooth postsecondary transition.
