Career Academy South Bend

At Career Academy South Bend we passionately help shape the lives our students through the building of self-confidence, compassionate connection with each student, and purposeful learning. Through implementation of our mission, Career Academy students are all "at-promise" in a big way. This is a drastically different view of traditional education. Through the attitude of changing the face of education and a genuine caring approach, students feel safe, encouraged to explore and excited to learn. Excellence is achieved when children are supported to question and search for answers. We inspire and support all of our students to achieve their full potential. Career Academy South Bend was founded in 2011 with the combined resources and vision of founders Larry Garatoni and Steve Hartz. Career Academy South Bend has grown from 165 students in 2011, to over 535 students for the 2014-15 school year. The 2014-15 school year will also introduce the expanded 5th and 6th grade classes for Career Academy South Bend, giving the school the opportunity to engage more children at a younger age.
