Teachers Academy for Catholic High School Students
In collaboration with Cardinal Dougherty Catholic High School (Philadelphia,
PA), Neumann College developed the Catholic School Teachers Academy. This academy
enables Cardinal Dougherty juniors and seniors who are interested in the teaching
profession to earn up to 12 transferable college credits from Neumann College
while still enrolled in high school. These students can then begin college
with virtually one semester of course work completed thus making it possible
for them to enter the teaching profession in fewer than four years. The students
are afforded opportunities to participate in tutoring projects at local Catholic
elementary schools to enhance their classroom experience and participate in
seminars and workshops conducted by Cardinal Dougherty and Neumann College
personnel. The students are not charged tuition for these courses.
