You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way you learn to love by loving.

1903 Academy Program
The 1903 Academy Program at Salesianum challenges students to begin exploring potential career pathways. Through real-world experiences, connections to the community, extracurricular leadership, and rigorous classes, students immerse themselves in a content area. 1903 Scholars sample a potential major before college and consider how, both as professionals and individuals, they impact the world.
The 1903 Academy Program combines aspects of Salesianum's academic, extracurricular, and service programs with meaningful reflection and experience through the composition of a portfolio and connection to a career. The program is centered on four aspects:
THINK
Academy students work with their Academy leader to intentionally schedule relevant and thought-provoking courses to complement their career pathway. Students are required to excel in a requisite number of relevant core and elective course offerings.
REFLECT
Throughout their three years in an academy, students create a reflective portfolio that challenges scholars to consider their experiences inside and outside the classroom and ask formative questions as they grow in their knowledge in their discipline. The portfolio focuses on how the students’ experience in the Academy has prepared them to utilize their unique gifts to contribute to making the world a better place.
