Portrait of a Graduate

SIATech sets high expectations for its students. The Portrait of a Graduate explains the attributes and skills developed in every SIATech graduate. Along with the SIATech Way, the Portrait of a Graduate helps guide students on their educational journey.

Step 1: Records Evaluation

Welcome to SIATech! The first step is to understand what courses you’ve already completed, what you have learned in the past, and what you will need to learn while at SIATech.

During the records evaluation process, we will go through your credit history and make sure every possible previous course will transfer into SIATech. This way you don’t have to retake anything you’ve already completed. Some students join SIATech with just a few credits to go, and others need to complete all their high school with us. We will meet you where you are on your high school journey! 

Our goal is to understand your unique strengths and areas of improvement, allowing us to tailor your learning experience accordingly. We will review your previous transcripts, test scores, and any other relevant records to gain valuable insights into your educational journey so far. This evaluation helps us identify your academic goals, interests, and any additional support you may need. It's an essential step that paves the way for a personalized and enriching learning experience at our school.
