Years ago, Larry Garatoni and Steve Hartz recognized a deficit in South Bend education: Students were falling behind due to lack of access to quality educational resources and passionate, skilled teachers.
So they built Career Academy—a charter school in South Bend that would provide students with access to high-quality education in a positive and inspirational environment where they could feel accepted and encouraged.
But they didn’t stop there. Career Academy is continually evaluating its approach and striving to create an educational experience that is challenging, inclusive, and provides students with opportunities to grow through real-world experience.
