The CART facility, which is about convert|75000|sqft|m2|abbr=on[ [http://www.ed.gov/news/newsletters/innovator/2005/0928.html The Education Innovator #35] , U.S. Department of Education Newsletter (September 25, 2005), accessed 10 April 2008] , is designed to be such an environment reminiscent of a high performance business atmosphere. Different classes are offered, each divided into it's on career specific cluster. These are Professional Sciences, Engineering, Advanced Communications, and Global Economics. Within each cluster are several career-specific laboratories in which students complete industry-based projects and receive academic credit for advanced English, science, math, and technology.]Approach
Eleventh and twelfth grade students from the Clovis and Fresno Unified School Districts are bused to CART where they attend half-day classes in one of the laboratories taught by teams of instructors from both education and business.
Instead of most local public high schools where students move from one class to another for different subjects, CART implies a different technique in that each lab is taught by three teachers each teaching a branch off subject related to the main subject. Usually the made-up is a lab will have one teacher who teaches English while the two remaining teachers will teach different sciences.
Courses
In addition to courses offered at other traditional high schools, CART offers courses in forensic research, biomedicine, environmental science, network management, database design, game design, multimedia, robotics and biomedical engineering.
History
Planning for the facility began long before the launch of the new millennium and purchasing of the grounds for the new school was done in January of 1997. Completed in May of 2000, students first began coming to CART for the fall semester in August 2000.
