About Austin Can Academy
Austin Can Academy is a 501(c) 3 charter school that serves students who have fallen through the cracks in a traditional high school environment. The common thread in the background of most of our students is they find themselves in overwhelming situations. Not knowing where to turn for help, they often give up on the one thing that will give them a better future: their education.
At Austin Can Academy, each student works with a teacher and a highly trained advisor to set higher expectations, and to adopt a strong value system. While the teacher teaches, the student advisor aggressively removes barriers to education that students face in their personal lives, such as arranging daycare for their children and locating safe havens for those who are homeless or live poor neighborhoods. Austin Can Academy provides a support system that ensures that students can focus on their education and build their expectations for success.
