Career and College Prep

Whether your student is college-bound, eager to start a career, or still exploring their options, Georgia Digital School (GDS) helps them graduate ready for their future.

Preparing Students for What’s Next

We know planning for life after high school can feel overwhelming. That’s why we offer support early and often. At Georgia Digital School, we help students use their middle and high school years to figure out where they want to go and plan how to get there.

Career Fields

Middle School Career Exploration

In middle school, our 6–8th graders can take career exploration courses to discover their interests early, find their strengths, and start thinking about the career pathways they’ll take in high school.

High School Career Pathways

In high school, 9–12th graders can take a deeper dive into a career-focused concentration of their choice. Career pathways are an excellent way for students to get a jump-start on a career immediately after high school or to help them make the right decision about their college major.
