The mission of the Career Academy is to provide meaningful, community-based opportunities for the students of the Central Bucks School District. The Career Academy fosters relationships with community resources to allow our students to explore careers in a way that offers a unique, workplace context. These opportunities can either be through a partnership or internship.  

Internships:  District internship programs provide students with the opportunity to investigate potential careers and receive academic credit at the same time. Central Bucks has a very limited number of community internship possibilities; some of the most acceptable are internships located in the fields of: business, the arts, journalism, environmental science, and elementary education. Individual internship requests are researched and scheduled independently by the District Coordinator. Most internships are scheduled during the 4th block of a designated marking period or after the regular school day ends.

All internships require completion of 40+ hours of work as well as three components: (1) a portfolio of learning, (2) field training in the career choice, (3) a final presentation of the portfolio for review.

Please see your school counselor for an application or click below.

NOTE: Internships are coordinated between the school district and a community organization or business. A personal interview with the candidate is held before student placement is determined. A district committee must approve applications prior to acceptance into the program.

Transportation is the responsibility of the student.

Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation, a 3.0 grade point average, and completion of the application. Please word process the essay.

Students receive a P/F grade upon successful completion of the internship. Internships are open to seniors in good academic standing.
