WRVC is accredited by New England Schools and Colleges (NEASC). We offer 15 Career and Technical Education (CTE) opportunities to high school students from surrounding area sending schools.
85% of our programs are aligned with state or national certifications and/or licenses. As a school of choice, the staff at WRVC realize that students enroll to gain experiences that will make them successful within their chosen career. We provide many opportunities for our students to succeed while offering a very safe and welcoming environment where students feel a sense of belonging and pride.
National Standards
As a member of Maine’s network of CTE schools, our school is aligned with a set of robust national educational standards for each one of our programs. Our commitment to these national standards means that our students are fully prepared to excel at the career of their choice as soon as they graduate.
What are national educational standards?
National standards are a set of guidelines for each CTE program at each school. In culinary arts, for example, our program is focused on helping students meet or exceed a set of standards defined by a national culinary arts organization. Aligning our programs against these industry standards means that our students are gaining modern, career-oriented knowledge that will fully prepare them for their chosen careers.
