About the School
Texans Can Academies is a network of public charter schools in Texas focused on providing alternative education for at-risk youth. With 14 campuses in major cities like Austin, Dallas, and Houston, the organization serves approximately 2,935 students, primarily from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The schools cater exclusively to high school grades (9??2) and aim to re-engage students who have struggled in traditional settings. The academies offer a variety of educational services, including full-time in-person programs, a 4-day school week, and virtual learning options. They also provide support services to help students overcome barriers such as poverty and early parenthood. Specialized programs, like the Graduating Thinkers Program, focus on developing critical thinking skills and preparing students for post-secondary success. Texans Can Academies is dedicated to empowering youth to achieve their full potential and economic independence through education.
