La Joya ISD is proud to introduce the Academies of La Joya!

Partnering with Ford Next Generation Learning (a partner with Ford Motor Company Education Foundation) and RGV LEAD (Linking Economic & Academic Development), the creation of the Academies of La Joya stands tall to transform teaching and learning, the secondary education experience, and civic and business engagement.

By transforming teaching and learning, students will learn through the lens of academic themes. Transforming the secondary education experience will expose students to real world careers and countless opportunities. And finally, transforming civic and business engagement will give our students industry skills through internships, job shadowing, and class speakers and practicums.

The Academies of La Joya are meant to strengthen partnerships with potential employers in order to bring our students internship opportunities and be college and career ready. The unique connection between classroom curriculum and real world experiences is what makes the Academies meaningful.

Academy students become part of a team, who for 4 years, will venture on a pathway to discover their passion and allow for greater self-awareness and confidence to pursue the career of their choice!
