Students work from home on school-supplied computers; they correspond with teachers and send in assignments electronically. The Akron school district has the largest such program in Ohio. Students who complete the program through 12th grade graduate with a regular high school diploma and even a cap-and-gown graduation ceremony.In 2018, TRECA Digital Academy began offering students an opportunity to learn workplace skills, earn college credit, and pursue industry credentials through a career technical education program called TRECA Tech. The courses in the program currently include cybersecurity, marketing, computer and web programming, business and administrative services, interactive media, finance, accounting, and Cisco networking.
