Fort Wayne Community Schools - College and Career Readiness
The K-12 College and Career Readiness program supports all FWCS students in establishing and pursuing college and career goals. Students are encouraged to aim high and reach their fullest potential in whatever path they choose.
College and Career Readiness Program adds SPICE to the lives of students and families:
- Support each student to achieve his/her college and career goals;
- Prepare students to embrace curricular and co-curricular opportunities and challenges;
- Inspire students to succeed inside and outside the classroom;
- Challenge students to reach their potential and live with purpose; and
- Equip students and the families with the proper resources in order for students to pursue college or a career upon graduating from high school.
