At Norris Academy learners are members of learning communities. Learning communities support learners with their specific needs and personal interests and are made up of distinct groups of learners on pathways toward different careers. Learning communities at Norris are Connections, Discovery, Explorations, Business & Entrepreneurship, Creative & Communicaton Arts, Human Services, STEM, and Trades & Services.
All learners attending Norris Academy start in the Connections Community to begin their Academy Orientation Pathways. After learners demonstrate proficiency with the Academy Orientation competencies, they will apply for membership to one of our learning communities; placement in a community is determined by the learner’s aptitude toward specific careers. Each Learning Community engages learners to explore core courses through its' unique focus.
