CTAE+

CTAE+ provides the opportunity for high school students to receive credit toward math, science, or ELA graduation requirements upon completion of identified CTAE Career Pathways.  A student must successfully complete and pass all three courses of an identified CTAE pathway to earn credit for the pathway and satisfy a fourth course graduation requirement.  *This option prepares students for postsecondary pathways at Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) institutions after graduation.
