At South Seminole Academy of Career Exploration, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to discover who they are and what excites them about the future. That’s why we’ve created a school experience that combines strong community, meaningful learning, and early exposure to real-world careers.

Every student at SSA is placed into one of three Houses, smaller communities within our school that foster connection, identity, and a sense of belonging. These Houses support academic growth and leadership through team-building, school spirit, and career-themed projects.

• House of Valor – Courageous thinkers and future leaders who take bold steps toward innovation and integrity.

• House of Legacy – Reflective, respectful, and purposeful, students honor the past and shape the future.

• House of Horizon – Forward-thinkers, designers, and explorers with eyes on the future and minds set on change.

Students stay with their House throughout their time at SSA, building strong bonds with staff and peers, while also engaging in friendly competitions and House-based celebrations of success.

In addition to Houses, all students will explore one of our three Career Pathways—broad career themes designed to help students connect their learning to the world around them:

• Service Pathway: Focused on healthcare, education, law, and public service careers, ideal for students who want to care, protect, and serve.

• Technology Pathway: Centered on engineering, coding, robotics, and digital systems, perfect for students who love to build, design, and problem-solve.

• Business & Creation Pathway: Aligned with entrepreneurship, marketing, and design, for students who want to innovate, communicate, and create.

Students will rotate through electives and hands-on experiences aligned to each pathway, then have the opportunity to go deeper based on their interests. Our CTE (Career and Technical Education) courses are designed to match these pathways, giving students early exposure to high-demand careers while developing real-world skills.

Purpose-Driven Learning

Everything we do from our House system to our Career Pathways is rooted in helping students find their voice, build their confidence, and plan for a future filled with purpose.
