The Center for Advanced Research and Technology, more commonly referred to as CART, is a high tech high school located in Clovis, California, USA.
The CART facility is about 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m2).[1] Classes offered are Professional Sciences, Engineering, Advanced Communications, and Global Economics. Within each cluster are career-specific laboratories in which students complete industry-based projects and receive academic credit for advanced English, science, math, and technology.
Approach
After going through an application process, Eleventh and Twelfth grade students from the Clovis and Fresno Unified School Districts are bused to CART where they attend four hour classes in one of the laboratories taught by teams of instructors from a variety of educational courses that provide real life career insight-.[1]
Unlike most local public high schools where students move from one class to another for different subjects, the CART program implements a different technique in that each lab is taught by a minimum of three teachers each teaching a branch-off subject related to the main subject. The make-up of the course differs between the lab chosen by the student. Each teacher in the lab has a specialty. Over the course the required high school education is more than covered by each teacher in a way to encompass the main topic of the lab with the same lesson.

Courses
In addition to courses offered at other traditional high schools, CART offers courses in forensic research, biomedicine, environmental science, network management, psychology, law and policy, database design, game design, multimedia, robotics, biotechnology, economics and finance, marketing and advertising,
History
Purchase of the grounds for the new school was done in January 1997. Completed in May 2000, students began classes in August 2000.
