Education

Overview 

Beginning with its accredited alternative high school in Philadelphia, whose approach has been adapted by other OICs throughout the U.S., our network has a long history of providing individualized support combined with an academic environment that is nurturing yet appropriately challenging.  

Many OIC affiliates offer adult basic education, GED preparation and/or testing services. Select affiliates may also provide educational services to over-age, under-credentialed students who are returning to high school to earn their diploma and prepare for post-secondary work such as pre-college, trade school or entering the workforce.  

Our network exercises flexibility in designing educational programs adapted to individual, cultural, and community needs to make high school graduation a reality for students whose unique needs could not be met through the traditional education system.
