District Set to Hold Evening Virtual Information Sessions About High School Choice Options on Jan. 26 & Jan. 27

Disponible en:

The sessions target families with current eighth-grade students making decisions about where they will go to high school based on their interests.

The Aldine Independent School District offers several high schools that students can choose to attend. Families and students who would like to learn more about Aldine’s Choice Schools options are invited to join a virtual session on January 26 and January 27.  The event is ideal for incoming ninth-grade students in the 2021-2022 school year.

You Have Options! Explore Your Opportunities!

• Avalos Pathways in Technology Early College High (P-TECH) School
• Blanson Career and Technology Education High School
• Carver High School for Engineering, Applied Technology & the Arts
• Eisenhower Ninth Grade — International Baccalaureate® Middle Years Program
• Eisenhower HS — IB® Diploma Program
• Victory Early College High School

The sessions are an opportunity for families to learn more about AISD’s options to ensure Aldine ISD students attend a school that is a better match for them.

Educators at Choice Schools can motivate students to engage intellectually in a more meaningful and intense way by focusing on their specific interests, aspirations, and preferred learning styles.

Why choose Choice Schools?

All children are unique. Each learns in different ways, has aspirations for different careers, and is interested in different subjects. The more options there are that better suit a student’s interests, the better for the student. The district believes that if all students can attend a high-quality school that matches their interests, they will achieve their academic potential.

The International Baccalaureate® studies program provides a rigorous, highly recognized curriculum. The IB Diploma Program is a globally recognized honors curriculum with many colleges and universities awarding credit upon exam results. Aldine ISD students can follow the entire IB continuum — the Primary Years Program, Middle Years Program, and Diploma Program.

Additionally, each Choice School offers opportunities ranging from industry certifications to associate degrees. Meaning students will be earning college credit while in high school as well as completing their degree sooner. Blanson CTEHS offers 17 different programs, while Avalos P-TECH School has four programs in fields that are in high demand.
