How does the Keefe schedule fit academic and vocational programs together?

At Keefe, the schedule has been designed to maximize career and technical education opportunities without sacrificing academic objectives.

In the 9th grade year, students take a full academic program which includes the major subjects of Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies. Students also participate in a full year of Career Exploratory program where they experience every career and technical area to make an informed choice for their remaining three years.

Beginning in Grade 10, students alternate between a full week of academics and a full week of career and technical education. By alternating vocational and academic weeks, students receive intensive training in both areas. While acquiring valuable vocational training, students may also develop the academic credentials to apply to a variety of college options, including four-year state schools.

Students at Keefe may receive both vocational training and college preparation through our schedule.

Does the student or family have to pay to attend Keefe Technical School?

Not directly. Like other schools, Keefe is funded by contributions from towns, grants and federal programs. While the whole community contributes to Keefe through their town’s funding, there are no direct or separate costs for a student who attends. Keefe students attend school with no direct cost much like students do at local public schools.
