Vocational Programs
Vocational and Life Skills Preparation
Y.A.L.E. School encourages learning in authentic surroundings.
We design instructional settings that simulate and replicate the environments our students need to experience in order to be ready for adult roles and responsibilities.
When visiting a Y.A.L.E. campus, parents will notice a variety of vocational opportunities embedded in the schedule of the students. The range of options reflects Y.A.L.E.’s commitment to prepare students to make informed career and vocational choices through program offerings such as Visual Arts, Media Arts, Applied Industrial Arts, and Green Vision.
By combining expert instruction with hands-on experiences, we provide a unique, enriched transition education.
