In a world that won’t hold still,

aim with purpose

Commerce City students deserve a system built for the economy AI is creating, not the one it’s replacing. Stoca Academy is that system.

Traditional schools reward students for playing the game: memorizing rubrics, passing standardized tests, logging seat time. That skill set is exactly what AI now automates.
Nearly 40% of core job skills will change by 2030 (World Economic Forum). Employers no longer read a GPA and a course list as proof of capability.
Students who most need to become builders of technology are most often trained to be passive consumers of it.
Stoca offers an AI-empowered, career-connected STEM model that treats this community's students as builders of technology rather than passive consumers of it.

Stoca is not a traditional school with technology bolted on. It inverts the default educational model:

Our grades will reflect how much students have learned. We also provide different ways to show learning in real world context so their grades mean something to them.
We integrate AI to ensure students know how to use it to push their thinking and enhance their work so that students are prepared to use AI in a world that integrates it into workflows more and more every day.
We want to give students enough exposure to different industries and careers so they can make an informed decision for their future.
We partner with real industry partners for application finals so experts in the field grade our students.
We want students to have the choice to be college and career ready so they can use their transcript as a resume.
Once a week students will not attend regular class - instead they will work with a coach and independently on exactly where they are at. This ensures they are learning what they need and teaching them independence to learn on their own like in college.
Our students are celebrated for being bilingual, with the opportunity to earn credentials to become translators if they want.
