Transition/Vocational Arts

Transition Services:  In order to improve the academic and functional achievement of our students and facilitate movement from school to post-secondary activities; Rock Creek Academy has created partnerships with work preparation programs like Year Up and the Living Classroom Foundation. We are helping our students to better understand their career interests and gear Transition Service Plans to meet their specific needs. To accommodate for our students' special needs, we also host private registrations with organizations like the Department of Employment Services and the Rehabilitative Services Agency.

Vocational Arts Department: This department is merging the overarching goals of both the Transition and Arts Departments in order to offer career training with the aim of nurturing and building the inherent talents and skills of our students.  This includes facilitating a smooth transition to entry lvel employment, trade apprenticeships, post-secondary vocational training or on to a community or four-year college or university.  Many of our programs have proven to increase student attendance, academic self-esteem and achievement.
