CAN Academy admits students of any race, color or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and financial aid programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
Our goal is to improve the graduation percentage rate of students in Chatham County, reduce school retention by identifying the various ways our students learn, by being individualized, eclectic and innovative in our approach, by being persistent and consistent, by being deliberate and proactive in our communication with parents, by motivating and never giving up on our students to ability learn, thrive, stay in school, and respect self, peers, rules/expectations and authority.
We utilize a computer-based curriculum which allow students to remediate and accelerate their learning. Also, we integrate traditional teaching for students needing more individualized help in certain subjects. In doing so, students start to see getting promoted and graduating from high school as a reality versus dropping out of school, thus placing them in a position to become a productive self-sustaining adult by going on to technical school, college/university or the armed forces.
