Connections

Our Connections program is already extraordinarily innovative in its efforts to provide real-world application and vocational training. For some of our students, this can be a schedule that mirrors a community college by engaging in learning at the College of DuPage.  Other students are benefiting from the innovative micro-businesses that are housed at our Connections building.  All of these opportunities, further prepare them for their futures.

Currently, innovative facility changes are underway to enhance the Connections program. Renovations include creating bigger micro-business spaces to allow more independence, as shown in the renderings on the left, and residential-style classrooms, pictured on the right. These new spaces will support authentic learning experiences and are set to be completed for the 2025-26 school year.  As students and staff assimilate to the new space, we will continue to incorporate innovative thinking into our planning for all Connections students.
