"it takes a village..."

Plato Learning Academy relies on its many Community Partnerships to enhance the educational experience and provide supports that we alone could not offer. 

Junior ACHIEVEMENT

Junior Achievement is intended to develop work-readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy skills in students. This amazing program has delivered full-day lessons to our students, allowed our students to visit the Capital One Cafe, and invited our students to attend the Future Smart Challenge held at the United Center.

FBI

Yes ... you read that correctly. The FBI. As in the The Federal Bureau of Investigation. 
Our school has partnered with the FBI to decrease the violent crime in the Austin Community and to increase the students' relationships with law enforcement. We are also launching a Junior Agent Program which will allow students  unique inside perspective into the FBI.

World vision

Though commonly known for their efforts to provide equity globally, World Vision has consistently supported the students and staff at Plato Learning Academy through generous donations. Whether opening their doors for our staff to do some "shopping" or dropping off supplies to students, World Vision helps to ensure that our school has what it needs to be successful.
