The Weber Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology was founded by the Stockton Unified School District in 2000. It is divided into three career academies: Technology, Medical Transportation. The school now serves a 9th-12th grade student body of 380-450 students from culturally and ethnically diverse backgrounds. Students come via an application process and a contract with affirmed commitments by students, parents and school.
Weber Institute is dedicated to academic and career preparation with an emphasis on good citizenship. New equipment meeting current industry standards is found in each of the three academies. Weber Institute seeks to provide a smooth transition from school to work as students are encouraged to participate in internship programs in their particular career.
This allows students the opportunity to practice those skills obtained at the Institute. The school maintains a “workplace” culture with students in appropriate dress.
Weber Institute framework is based upon the career academy model as follows:
1) A small learning community within the larger high school,
2) A curriculum that combines a career focus while meeting college entrance requirements,
3) Partnerships/Internships with supporting employers, community members, and institutions of higher education (CASN, 2005).
4) Students are required to complete a final project or portfolio.
