Montverde Academy – The Educational Technology and Innovation Program at Montverde Academy has recently been named a Full Sail University High School Partnership Program for its emphasis on creative thinking and hands-on curricula encouraging students to pursue their dreams within the entertainment, media, arts, and technology industries.
The Full Sail University’s High School Partnership Program identifies and supports distinguished high school programs nationwide focused on career and technical pathways. All qualifying programs exhibit a focused curriculum track, utilize industry tools, demonstrate project-based learning, and are led by distinguished educators who encourage creative communities.
Montverde Academy’s Educational Technology and Innovation program includes a suite of classes and opportunities for students to collaborate and stretch their imagination to solve real-world problems in a creative fashion. The center includes two maker spaces and classes in computer programming, digital photography, TV and film production, Yearbook and journalism and the new EA Sports Gaming at Montverde Academy.
Mr. Jon Hopman, the Head of School at Montverde Academy, stated, “Montverde Academy is very excited to enter into this partnership with Full Sail University. As a college preparatory school, our mission is to provide our students with a greater opportunity to pursue their professional interests. In collaboration with Full Sail University, we are now able to provide a greater emphasis on entertainment, media, arts and technology that will benefit our students as they develop into young professionals.”
Mr. David Bernatavitz, the Assistant Head of School at Montverde Academy, stated, “As we work on redesigning and developing the Communications Subject Area Concentration (SAC) at Montverde Academy, this partnership with Full Sail University and their emphasis on encouraging students to pursue their dreams within the entertainment, media, arts, and technology industries, is evolving at a perfect time. The alignment of an in-depth study of these creative fields, paired with memorable experiences through Full Sail, will provide an avenue for increased knowledge and interactions that intensify the students’ passion for future studies in these continually evolving occupations.”
A proud supporter of creativity throughout its over 40-year history, Full Sail University is dedicated to the encouragement and development of future generations of entertainment and media professionals.
