As of June 30, 2024, CAST Schools consisted of 5 high schools in operation (CAST Tech, CAST STEM, CAST Med, CAST Lead, and CAST Teach) and the Advanced Learning Academy (ALA), which is a pre-K through 12th-grade campus. CAST Schools Programmatic Support (Programs): The Network provides many additional programs as part of its career-centered, experiential approach to learning, that would not otherwise be available to students, and the majority of which are funded through grants. Some examples include travel, job shadowing, internships, service programs, career-connected workshops such as speed interviewing and networking, as well as signature experiences such as the network-wide Youth Rally, and a conference organized and led entirely by students. CAST Metwork develops strategies and provided leadership for the organization and management of the CAST Schools.
