• Curriculum & Education at SETA

     

    We are committed to providing an exceptional educational curriculum that empowers students to develop and expand their skill set, preparing them for successful careers in engineering. Our magnet school program offers a comprehensive educational journey from sixth to twelfth grade, allowing students to obtain a career certification specific to one of our four career pathways. 

    With a strong emphasis on career preparation, SETA stands out due to our unique structure. Our advisory board comprises of esteemed industry leaders, representatives from higher education institutions, and experienced community members, bringing decades of expertise to the table. This collaboration ensures that our curriculum aligns with the evolving needs of the engineering industry.

    The curriculum at SETA goes beyond traditional education by incorporating the knowledge, experience, and resources of NASA through the partnership under our Space Agreement Act. To further enhance the educational experience, NASA has stationed an employee directly on campus, integrating real-world experiences and standardizing the latest advancements from NASA into our education and resources. 

    As part of our commitment to well-rounded education, every SETA High School student undergoes two years of computer programming training, regardless of their selected pathway. This ensures that all students gain the essential skills required in the rapidly advancing technological landscape.

    Upon graduation, students can seamlessly transition into the workforce, thanks to our industry-recognized certifications. However, certain pathways at SETA are better suited for those interested in pursuing higher education.

    To further enrich our educational experience, we are actively developing internships and job opportunities in collaboration with our industry partners and the city of San Antonio. In the near future, our magnet school program will provide summer and yearlong opportunities, enabling students to network with professionals in the field while furthering their education.

    Our dedication to curriculum and education sets the stage for students to thrive, empowering our students to choose the path that best suits their aspirations. We take pride in creating opportunities for students that, combined with our extensive network and resources, help establish a career path for every student in the SETA magnet school program.
