School Mission Statement
Career Academy Vision and Values
What do you want to learn and how do you want to learn it? Explore the world, your interests and your future. Build it here.
Personalized, Supportive Learning
Scholars explore their passions and interests through projects of their own design. Advisors work alongside scholars to create a personalized learning plan and co-define success.
Scholar Driven
Scholars are empowered to influence change at Truman. Scholars create a learning environment that reflects their needs. Scholar voice impacts decision making.
Real World Experience
Through internships, leaving to learns, and real-world projects, our graduates thrive as active contributors in their communities. Our scholars are always learning. From the workplace to family life, we encourage scholars to continue developing the skills that most impact their daily lives.
Small Caring Community
Scholars are safe to embrace challenges, take risks and explore their individual identities as part of an accepting community. Students remain in a cohort for the duration of their high school experience at Truman, where they contribute to and support each others' learning.
