OLD STONE CENTER FOR EDUCATION
PARENTING AND FAMILY LITERACY EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Old Stone Center for Education offers an alternative
educational environment for young parents, who are between the
ages of 16 1/2 to 22, who have not experienced success in the
traditional school setting.
The center provides General Educational
Development (GED)
preparation classes, independent study and high school credit
classes (for students who need less than three credits to
graduate), college and career counseling, and parenting and
literacy classes.
Old Stone Center for Education students may participate in the
Shadowing, Internship, and Mentoring Services (SIMS) program,
which provides students with the opportunity to learn about
various occupations and interact with adults in the work setting.
Activities include visiting a work site or completing an
internship at a company that offers careers of interest. Students
receive a stipend during the internship. Internships often lead to
full or part-time employment.
For students enrolled in Old Stone Center for Education
programs, on-site, state licensed childcare for children
(six-months to five years of age) is available. County vouchers
are required. Please call The Old Stone Center for Education at
(216) 241-3734 for enrollment information.
