DCAWI: The School of the Future

College costs are skyrocketing. Between tuition, books, and housing, it seems like the price tag grows every year, making families wonder how they can afford it. But what if students could get a head start on their future before graduating high school? At Destinations Career Academy of Wisconsin, students can do just that—earning career certifications and college credit along the way.
The traditional path of high school, graduation, then college isn’t the only option anymore. Students today need more opportunities to explore careers early and gain skills that help them stand out. That’s why we consider ourselves the “school of the future.” We give students a head start on their education, preparing them for real-world jobs while still in high school.
Career-Ready Skills That Pay Off
At Destinations Career Academy of Wisconsin, we offer career-focused programs in high-demand fields like Business, Health Science, and Information Technology. By enrolling in these courses, students can earn industry-recognized certifications while still completing their high school education. When they graduate, they’re already a step ahead—whether they plan to enter the workforce or continue their education.
Instead of waiting until college to figure out a career path, students at our school can start developing hands-on skills now. Our programs help students become career-ready, offering certifications in areas like CompTIA and Adobe. These aren’t just fancy words on a resume—they’re real credentials that prove you’ve got the skills employers want.
College Credit with Less College Debt
We know college is a goal for many of our students, and we want to help make it achievable. That’s why we offer dual-credit courses through our partnerships with colleges and universities. This means students can earn college credits while they’re still in high school—knocking out some of those freshman-year general education classes before even setting foot on campus!
Earning college credit in high school can save students both time and money. When they enter college with credits already completed, they can often graduate sooner, meaning fewer semesters of tuition and fees. It’s like giving yourself a discount on your future education! And who doesn’t love saving money?
Explore Career Paths While You’re Still in School
Not sure what career you want to pursue yet? No problem! One of the best things about our program is that it lets students explore different career paths without committing to one right away. You can try out courses in various fields, discover what you’re passionate about, and decide on the best direction for you after high school.
Since our courses are designed with real-world experience in mind, you’re not just learning from textbooks—you’re getting practical, hands-on training that can help guide your decisions. Whether you’re interested in health science, IT, or business, you’ll get to see what those fields are really like while earning credits that count toward graduation.
The School of the Future is Here
At Destinations Career Academy of Wisconsin, we believe in giving students more options, more opportunities, and more ways to succeed. Whether your goal is to jumpstart your career or head to college with a few credits already in hand, we’re here to help you make it happen.
Why wait until after high school to start thinking about your future? At Destinations Career Academy of Wisconsin, the future is already here. And we’re ready to help you make the most of it.
