About the Academy
The Trumbull Career & Technical Center opened the Early Innovators Academy in fall of 2022. The academy offers project-based career exploration courses for ninth and tenth graders. Instruction concentrates on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The Early Innovators Academy will accept 50-ninth grade students annually from all 20 partner school districts. Students that attend the TCTC and its Early Innovators Academy remain a student of their current school district. Continued participation in home school extracurricular activities, sports, and events is encouraged.
