Vocational

Training for Real Life

At Laurelbrook Academy, we believe school should be about more than memorizing facts and reading textbooks. A true education prepares you for a life of usefulness and service. To give you this preparation, four hours of every school day are dedicated to both vocational training and life skills.

To ensure you get a chance to learn a variety of skills during your stay at Laurelbrook, students rotate through several areas of vocational training each year. By graduation, you will be able to say that you prepared entire meals, fixed cars in the body shop, and harvested plants in the greenhouses and garden. You may choose to become a CNA, a volunteer firefighter, or an auto mechanic. Vocational certificates are awarded for each vocational program you learn.
