Commitment
to You
Attention, interest, trust, intent, engagement. We want you to stay committed to the process of becoming who you want to be. Because you believe in the outcome, you believe in you. We believe in you, too!
Commitment to
Industry
We are professionals in the industries where we once excelled, mastering our trades.
In teaching these programs, we are also continuing our commitment to the industry by providing guidance to the next generation, seeking support from current members of the industries, and by continuing our education in the industries.

Commitment to Self
This journey is a commitment to yourself, to the industry, and to your educators. Come to class prepared, stay on task with your coursework, and know that the prep work that you do now sets the foundation for a strong employment and experience in the future.
Your educators are also committed to themselves and are selective in who joins, the number of courses, and how many hours a day are given to the programs so that a good work/life balance is maintained, bringing you the best versions of ourselves to you!

Commitment to Certificates
New PA ACT158 allows students to graduate from high school through alternate pathways!
When you complete the courses within the programs, you will earn industry-relative certificates!
Build your portfolio, create an undeniably amazing resume, and earn certificates that not only make you stand out, but that also propel you toward graduation!
Schools (home/sending) may be able to use these certificates as artifacts toward ACT158 completion. This would be at the discretion of the school.
Each course has a requirement for certificates to be issued. Be sure to adhere to those requirements for issuance.

What our students say about us
Mrs Thompson has the experience and knowledge to make learning fun! I was able to use my kit to learn hands-on and I can't wait to follow my dreams of becoming a hair stylist!
— Grace
Ms Katie is always willing to share stories, videos, and other fun things to make learning hard topics easier. I have always loved animals, but this program has made me realize everything that is involved in working with animals safely!
- Arianna
I am most grateful that my teacher, Ms Kelly, not only makes learning fun and shares her knowledge, but has passion for her field as well. I could not have found a better place to learn new skills.
