About Us

This innovative industry specific trade school serving grades 9-12 is a project of Aspire Carolinas Foundation Inc. This school is the only charter model of its kind in North Carolina featuring “hands-on” labs. At this rigorous academic school students will have the ability to earn a diploma AND a trade certificate during their four years. Students will begin trade instruction in their freshman year and will be able to enter an apprenticeship with a local company during their senior year to gain additional experience. Students will have opportunities to explore career options in industry-specific trades like HVAC, plumbing, data science, carpentry, culinary, masonry/ceramic tile, welding/fabrication, medical assistant, medical coding, and automotive. Students will have trade instructors that are experts in their industry and will use curriculum that would lead students towards NC trade certification or licensure if that is available in their chosen field.
