El Curriculo
The Academy combines classroom instruction, service to community, life skills, job skills, computer literacy, physical training, and challenging individual and team activities into one unique experience. Students are supervised at all times and must remain at the facility unless participating in an authorized off-campus activity with our staff.
Fase Residencial
The five-month (22-week) Residential Phase is spent on campus in Rantoul, Illinois, where the days are long, mental and physical activities are rigorous and personal time is very limited. In addition to physical training and classroom instruction, each cadet completes at least 40 hours of service to community activities. It is during this phase the cadet is matched with a mentor. They choose their mentor from their personal support network before they arrive at the academy.
Fase Post-Residencial
Upon successful completion of the Residential Phase, cadets enter the 12-month Post-Resident Phase where the graduate returns to the community and works toward completion of their Individual Life Plan. They start the process of beginning their adult life and using their new skills by continuing their education, volunteering, or seeking employment. It is in this phase the mentor takes on an active role and serves as a role model and motivator for the graduate.
