Fairfield Language Tech

HistoryOur goal when the Career Academy opened in 2012 was for every student to leave fully prepared for a career and/or college, and that goal remains the same today. To graduate, students become Medical Assistants, obtain an A+ Information Technology Certification, or earn six college credits to demonstrate their readiness for a career or college-level work. In addition to providing our students high-quality academic and workforce preparation programs, Career Academy staff and faculty strive to infuse every student interaction with positive youth development principles that foster critical life skills, including self-awareness, self-confidence, problem-solving, and resilience.SpecialtiesWe specialize in preparing D.C. youth ages 16-24 for college and/or careers.
