Updated: 22-10-2024, 10.15 AM

Jefferson County Public Schools established its Academies of Louisville program in 2017, offering in-depth training to thousands of high school students.

Today academy programs are in 15 high schools, some are unique to one school while others are offered in several. Building on its success, the district established the Explore Pathways model in 2022 and began offering middle school students in 14 buildings exposure to different career fields.

Students interested in a specific Academies of Louisville program not offered at their resides school can request to attend the non-resides school, though JCPS no longer provides transportation for these students.

These are the 15 high schools and 14 middle schools offering academy programs.
