Special Studies | Tech Prep

The Tech Prep program is designed for students interested in technical education for occupations in demand in the local economy. High school students may enter the program as early as the 9th grade, taking occupational skill courses and applied academics courses that lead to completion of specific technical programs in the Seattle Community Colleges. Students taking a sequenced series of Tech Prep courses in high school continue on to the college program of their choice without loss of credit or duplication of courses.

Tech Prep courses are competency-based; emphasize cooperative learning; respond to diverse learning styles; recognize cultural diversity; stress the application of principles, laws, formulas and rules; and are taught using real-world situations.
