STARTING ON THE CAREER EXPLORATION PATH
Elementary School
At CSAT, students learn about careers before they may even understand the word career. Police officers, dentist, doctors, firefighters and nurses share information with our youngest students to open their eyes to the possibilities which await. As they grow, their career preparation develops. Career Touches continue through all grades and are combined with career planning curriculum and special activities like the Celebration of Reading and JA in a Day to reinforce the opportunities available to them after school ends.Middle School
