 Careers
High School is designed for high school students with
emotional and behavioral difficulties who are not stimulated by scholarly
learning and prefer hands-on project approaches.
Most of the students that succeed in Careers have had poor
experience with schools in general and are reactive to
traditional educational approaches. The students respond to
the family feel of the program, the individualized
educational approaches, and the strong emphasis on
transitioning
to successful post-secondary experiences.
 Careers
has three on-campus, revenue-generating businesses:
hydroponics/ fundraising, desktop publishing, and culinary
arts.
Students learn basic employment expectations,
vocabulary and experience that translate directly to the
work world. In addition, basic "soft" employment skills are
built into the behavior management system of the program to
reinforce
real world expectations.
Services Offered
 Careers
students provide copy center services that includes
custom-designed note pads, various business forms and
cards, brochures and workshop materials at reasonable
prices. Other students are involved in hydroponic and
organic gardening and will have montauk daisies and hostas available in
the spring. This year the program is preparing to offer
packaged noted cards featuring student
art. Please contact us to take advantage of our products
and services.
