MVROP & Career Technical Education
Career Technical Education (CTE)
The California State Department of Education's definition of CTE is as follows: "Career technical education engages all students in a dynamic and seamless learning experience resulting in their mastery of the career and academic knowledge and skills necessary to become productive, contributing members of society".
Irvington has a number of CTE programs and courses designed to meet these goals. This includes our Irvington academies:
- ITA: Information Technology Academy
- SHAPE: Science, Health, Athletics, and PE Academy
- VAPA/Center for the Creative Arts (CCA) Arts Magnet
