CORE High School
The goal of our CORE High School program is to help our students grow into happy, confident, creative, critical thinking, empowered young adults. Our program is not about “rigor” and focuses just as much on the process as the product. All CORE High School students:
• Receive a college-prep diploma
• Have various post-grad options: college, technical/vocational school, gap year, military, etc.
• Explore and develop passions and areas of interest
• Receive vocational education, training and experience

Once a student has chosen the vocational path, our vocational program director works with the student and family to identify areas of vocational interest. Students will partner with professionals for apprenticeships / internships in areas of interest during 11th and 12th grade. They will also take visits to technical schools/programs during their 11th and 12th grade years.
