Career Center/ALE

VBSD offers an alternative learning environment designed to serve the needs of at-risk students in grades 7-12. Services are based on a three-part approach:

• Academic instruction designed to ensure students meet graduation requirements and credit recovery,
• School-based mental health and social health services.
• Career emphasis and training.

The Career Center/ALE is housed at the VBSD Service Center on Industrial Park Road. Offering full day instruction, students work on credit courses utilizing on-site instructors and web-based classes sponsored through the Arkansas Virtual High School. Through a partnership with Arkansas Tech University students take concurrent credit classes on-site. By partnering with Western Arkansas Counseling & Guidance Center, students benefit from on-site counselors focusing on helping students overcome the barriers they face. VBSD Parent Education Program conducts group and personal meetings with students who are in need of their program assistance.
