About Us

SIATech high schools have been re-imagining education for more than 25 years. We have 14 tuition-free campuses ready to welcome new students year round. We’re experienced educators with a passion for reaching students who haven’t yet found their place in a traditional school environment and are ready to give high school another chance. We call students “at-promise” instead of “at-risk,” because we believe all students can succeed regardless of adversity, socioeconomic status, or past experiences.

Portrait of a Graduate

Our SIATech students graduate with a diploma AND career skills. We also build students’ curiosity, critical thinking, and confidence. SIATech graduates learn collaboration and communication skills. Our students emerge from our program with knowledge of financial literacy, technology, and how to work independently. Overall, SIATech provides an environment for students to not only learn to read, write, and do math, but to be ready for their next step after graduation.
