What is "Christian" 

Career and Technical Vocational Education?

It is education that offers “hands-on” training programs in specific career areas and trades. This training is integrated with Biblical standards and truths that are expected to be modeled and practiced by all staff members and instilled in students through implementation through classroom instruction and Christian outreach programs and projects.

ACADEMIC ONLINE CURRICULUM 

Pathways Tech CCTE is able to offer academic curriculum through partnerships with Sevenstar Academy and Alpha-Omega Ignitia at an additional cost beyond the vocational program tuition. Both online academics vendors provide an inventory of online Christian courses and teachers that can be utilized to meet the needs of a family desiring to enroll a student in Christian-based online academics as well as the Christian-based vocational program.

Partnering with online academics vendors is a prudent strategy to allow Pathways Tech CCTE to offer the academic curriculum to meet the graduation requirements for grades 9-12 without having to hire additional instructional staff. In order to meet the registration requirements through PDE (Pennsylvania Department of Education), Pathways Tech CCTE must be able to offer in-house academics in order to provide a diploma. Instructors will be hired to monitor an academic lab where the online academics will be offered within the school building. We have reviewed information and recommendations regarding courses offered by both online academics vendors, finding them to meet the academic standards and needs for students attending Pathways Tech CCTE. 

NOTE:  Although Pathways Tech CCTE is required to offer academics in order to register with PDE to offer a diploma as a full comprehensive school; students may obtain required academics and/or diplomas through other means as follows:

• Homeschooling – The Christian Vocational Program will supplement the Homeschool Training. 
• Public School Academics or Christian School Academics - The Christian Vocational Program will supplement the Public School or Christian School curriculum as approved by each.
• Other Online Academic Programs – as approved by Pathways Tech CCTE.
