School & District Partnerships
Field Academy partners with schools and districts to serve students who need more than a traditional classroom can offer — and to give those students something worth coming back for.
Credit Discovery
Students earn academic credit through real-world expeditions paired with standards-aligned assignments across content areas. Expeditions are scheduled on school days off, during breaks, or at other strategic points in the calendar, and structured in two to four day increments that align with your credit system.
Credit Discovery is designed for students who haven't responded to traditional credit recovery formats. The experience is the point: students engage with content in context, do work that feels meaningful, and return to school with something they didn't have before — a reason to keep going.
This model is particularly well-suited for students who are caught in a cycle of course failure not just because they're behind, but because they can't find a reason to care. Students who have stopped seeing the point of the classroom, who keep retaking credits they keep failing, who need relevance before they can access motivation. Credit Discovery breaks the cycle by changing the context — giving students real work in real places, and building the academic skills, social-emotional tools, and postsecondary clarity they need to actually get to the other side of high school.
