While New Vision students attend some classes at AEC and NFEC, the bulk of the programs are held off-site to give students a full immersion into their field of study.

This recent addition to our New Vision lineup gives students the opportunity to prepare for a career in the fields of K-12 education.
Students study educational theories to prepare them for planning, creating, and reviewing instruction.
Clinical experiences and other hands-on activities introduce students to various educational careers, from administration to social work.
Because students obtain college credits during their high school years in this program, it allows them the opportunity to have room in their schedule for paid substitute teaching at local schools during their college career. Not only does this give students crucial real-world experience, but it also helps districts manage the substitute teacher shortage.
