BTA Academic Preparedness for All Grades
All students will be pre-enrolled in the following course sequences based on grade level. Students will select academy electives through our BTA forecasting process upon registration.
Future Readiness
BTA offers four Career Technical Education (CTE) academy pathways for students to explore, with a focus on allowing students to pursue their passions in career and technical fields within a small school environment. The CTE pathways include STEM/Engineering, Construction, Business Leadership, and Medical/Health. In addition to this academy structure, we offer rigorous and transformative curriculum in both engineering and science from Project Lead the Way, college and career ready CTE curriculum from Paxton Patterson, and a robust college and career readiness program to ensure post-secondary success through initiatives like AVID, Oregon Gear UP, Aspire, and ECMC. Our Future Center office works hand in hand with our academies to bring in community partners to develop success skills and introduce internships and real world projects to learning.

Our educational model creates an engaging learning environment that students thrive in. We deliver well-rounded curriculum not only through traditional classroom models, but with real world experiences and applications.
Every student who graduates from Bend Tech Academy will leave with a sense of pride and an individualized 4-year personal plan and profile that will set them up for future success. Our academies are meticulously planned to reflect industries that offer high wage, high skill, high demand jobs.
"I chose BTA because it is smaller and there are less students. Teachers are more interactive with students and have more one-on-one time. Everyone knows everyone and it is a safe community. "
- Patrick, Class of 2024
