GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The Community Campus is designed to mimic a 4 year extended educational track. Our belief is that every person can make informed choices with positive exposure to interesting experiences. The unique learning styles of the students are taken into consideration in all lessons. The student’s personal goals become the focus of every step in the process.

INSPIRING CIRRICULUM
Experiment – Introduced to new activities, ideas and experiences, students discover interests, likes and talents.

Envision – A detailed Vocational, Social and Residential profile is developed and the students work on defining and organizing opportunities.
Engage – The students begin to follow the plan they develop and may be actively job seeking, searching for apartments, becoming involved in various clubs and organizations, and actively involved in the community.
