Turn Your Dream Into A Plan!
Welcome to Graduation Preparatory Academy (GPA) High School, a school of choice with a non-traditional setting in Austin ISD. Within this setting, GPA provides varied curriculum options, allowing students to work independently and advance at their own pace. Our students take ownership of their education and are empowered through a supportive and flexible learning environment to achieve their educational goals.
Our instructional delivery is mainly computer-based, using Edgenuity, a model designed for a student-driven experience. It is online, meaning that students can access it from home in addition to class time. We encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity to accelerate.
Our dedicated faculty and staff provide a supportive and structured learning environment to meet each student’s academic needs. The program offers courses monitored by our teachers but taught by virtual teachers. Students work independently the majority of the time with teacher assistance. Successful GPA students are motivated, self-disciplined, and willing to work through challenges. Our teachers deliver STAAR end-of-course classes in a blended format through direct teaching and an online curriculum to ensure students are prepared for testing.
Traditional timelines do not limit students at our campus. When one course is complete, students will immediately work on completing the next. To maintain adequate progress, students must complete two courses per six weeks. Our students have the opportunity to graduate earlier than expected. GPA also provides a flexible schedule option to support the needs of our working student population. We encourage our students to take responsibility for themselves and collaborate with staff to solve their problems creatively. We also encourage students to celebrate their successes and establish an action plan to address areas where growth is needed as they progress into adulthood.
Additionally, students may participate in UIL activities at Travis Early College High School, such as sports, band, choir, etc. Our students gladly participate in many volunteer opportunities, such as food banks, campus beautification projects, and community events.
At GPA, we are preparing our students for life after graduation. We are a College, Career, and Military-Preparation-Focused campus. All graduating seniors must complete the following: federal financial aid form (FAFSA/TASFA), take the TSI test, register at Austin Community College, and are encouraged to participate in one of our Industry-Based Certification programs, such as Google Analytics or our compiled list of Technician Certification Programs.
We welcome New Students throughout the School Year.
