Our mission is to develop lifelong learners who exemplify strong leadership, solid moral character, and self-discipline. This is accomplished by providing a Christ-centered, academic, and vocational education that will equip young men and women to pursue post-secondary education or a successful career path upon graduation. Vocatio teaches students to apply their knowledge to real-world problems, addressing relevant neighborhood needs. Our school serves as a support system in the Hunting Park community by offering youth and families experiential and vocational learning opportunities, academic support, and social/emotional support.
