Applied Academics courses are secondary school classes that offer students the option of a different teaching approach.
Teachers bring workplace and real-life examples into the classroom to show how theories work.
This helps students connect what they are learning with real life. Teaching essential workplace skills increase students' confidence in their ability to learn. For students who learn well in a traditional class, current teaching practices fit their style. In most cases it is not course content that differs, but merely the teaching style. The idea is to offer students a better chance at success and to make these academic subjects more interesting and easier to learn.
