The Arizona Autism Charter School this weekend will debut its post-secondary academy in Phoenix.
A ribbon cutting ceremony is set for 10 a.m. on Saturday at the tuition-free charter school’s main campus at 4125 N. 14th Street.
“The new Post-Secondary Innovation & Entrepreneurial Career Education (PIECE) Academy is a dream come true for our older high school students, who need exposure and experiences using STEAM curriculum and the opportunity to earn Career and Technical Education credits while in high school,” Diana Diaz-Harrison, founder and executive director, said in a press release.
“This high-tech curriculum will be differentiated and made accessible to students at all levels of the autism spectrum.”
Career-based programs taught at the academy will help neuro-diverse people enter the workforce and fill a multitude of quality tech-based jobs that are open and projected to grow in the future, the school said in the release.
