This will be a pioneering microschool designed to prepare high school students for emerging careers in health care and technology.
Scheduled to launch in fall 2026 at Jay M. Robinson High School with an initial cohort of 30 freshmen and 30 sophomores, the academy will be part of CCS’ Program Choice offerings.
Modeled after the early college concept, the health care innovation academy at Robinson, in partnership with Atrium Health and The Pearl, will operate as a four-year microschool that blends traditional academic coursework with hands-on, real-world learning.
The program’s initial focus will center on artificial intelligence in health care, with plans to expand into prototyping technologies – two rapidly growing fields in the health care industry.
Students will complete core high school courses, such as Math I, English I and Civics through a health care lens, while also participating in Career and Technical Education classes in data analytics and artificial intelligence.
In addition to classroom learning, students will participate in weekly field experiences at The Pearl innovation district, collaborating with professionals from leading health care innovation companies. These experiences will emphasize problem-based learning, allowing students to tackle authentic health care challenges while developing the technical and collaborative skills necessary for future success.
“The health care innovation academy at Robinson in partnership with The Pearl represents the next evolution of public education in Cabarrus County,” said Dr. John Kopicki, superintendent of Cabarrus County Schools. “By connecting our students directly with industry experts and real-world problem solving, we’re ensuring they graduate not only ready for college but for the careers shaping our community and our future.”
