About this school

Public choice option that is not guaranteed by address and generally depends on district choice or broader application rules.

The Academy for Software Engineering empowers all students to reach their fullest potential through competency-based learning practices, self-reflection, and a growth mindset. Students cultivate social-emotional wellness through restorative practices and meaningful relationships between all stakeholders to create an inclusive and equitable community of critical thinkers enriched by a rigorous and culturally responsive education infused with the fundamental concepts of computing. Every student at AFSE will develop the skills to become lifelong learners, tomorrow's problem solvers, and collaborative leaders with the skills to achieve post-secondary success. We are part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, which helps us support career readiness for all our students. We have courses that help our ninth and tenth graders explore their career interests and develop readiness skills. Our students can apply for apprenticeships in tech, finance, and business, which allows them to earn and learn while in high school.
