Curriculum That Unlocks Possibilities
Destinations Career Academy of New Mexico (Destinations) knows success is not a single destination, and the journey can take many turns. But no matter the path, we believe in unlocking every learner’s potential by meeting them where they are and helping them reach their goals.
Explore Our Courses
As students move through middle school and into high school, their work becomes increasingly independent. High school courses are designed for students targeting a four-year university, a local community college, or an immediate career.
Many high school courses are offered at two levels: on-level and Advanced Placement® (AP®).
In both course levels, students:
- Learn grade-level content
- Complete coursework that might require writing or research projects
- Tackle problems that require analytical thinking
In AP® courses, students prepare to take the AP® exam in a particular subject. Their AP® exam score may allow them to receive college credit, as determined by the college.
We also offer credit-recovery courses for students who need to catch up.
Preparing High School Students for College and Career
Your teen can gain a competitive edge for the future—whether that includes college, a career, or both. NMDCA gives students the opportunity to explore career options and participate in specialized, career-related experiences. They can also prepare to take industry-recognized certification exams upon graduation.**
Students can choose from a broad range of courses in our career and college prep program.
*The K12 high school catalog is a complete list of the high school courses K12 provides. While NMDCA offers a comprehensive selection of courses, not every K12 high school course is available to NMDCA students. Information on specific courses of study and available electives are provided upon enrollment. For details, please speak to an enrollment consultant during the enrollment process.
**Many Microsoft®️ Office certificates can be earned after completing one course. Other certificates require more classes to be better prepared, and students who participate in the program for at least two years will have further preparation for certification testing.
