Eleventh and twelfth grade students from the Clovis and Fresno Unified School Districts are bused to CART where they attend half-day classes in one of the laboratories taught by teams of instructors from both education and business.[1]
Unlike most local public high schools where students move from one class to another for different subjects, CART implies a different technique in that each lab is taught by three teachers each teaching a branch-off subject related to the main subject. Usually the make-up is a lab will have one teacher who teaches English while the two remaining teachers will teach different sciences.[1]
In addition to courses offered at other traditional high schools, CART offers courses in forensic research, biomedicine, environmental science, network management, psychology, law and policy, database design, game design, multimedia, robotics, biomedical engineering, economics and finance, marketing and advertising,
Purchase of the grounds for the new school was done in January 1997. Completed in May 2000, students began classes in August 2000.
