Programs
Vocational
For students who desire to enter the workforce upon graduation from OSS with specialized training in select fields.
Expanded Opportunities
Vocational skills and training offer students a chance to discover and cultivate their passions, broadening career possibilities and opening the door to robust job opportunities in high-growth fields and workforce success.
Improved Financial Outlook
Preparing students for stable and well-paying jobs allows them to lift themselves and their families up financially. This transformative change offers families a new legacy—one of hope, empowerment, and financial security.
Community and Economic Impact:
Our Vocational students enrich their personal lives with skills that they can utilize in everyday situations. Further, these practical skills will contribute positively to their communities, with family, friends and neighbors benefitting, whether that’s caring for a loved one, home or auto repairs, or enjoying a nutritious meal rather than fast food.
Certification:
Students will leave these Vocational classes with more than certificates—they will carry with them newfound belief in their capabilities and potential.
Entrepreneurship
For students who dream of owning and running their own business after graduation.
Empowerment Through Innovation:
Incorporating entrepreneurial thinking fosters a mindset of innovation, ownership, and resilience. Our students learn to identify opportunities and develop solutions, viewing themselves not just as workers, but as creators and leaders in their communities.
Unlimited Potential:
By teaching fundamental business skills, we prepare students to turn their passions into viable enterprises. These classes equip them with the tools needed to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship and unlock endless possibilities for personal and professional growth.
Community Impact:
Graduates of the Entrepreneurial track have the potential to drive economic growth and inspire change within our community. Whether launching a new venture or revitalizing existing family businesses, these young entrepreneurs contribute positively to local economies and set the stage for a new generation of leaders.
Transformational Journey:
The entrepreneurial track is more than just classes—it’s an immersive journey that transforms students' perception of what they can achieve. By cultivating a spirit of innovation and self-belief, students are ready to take ownership of their futures.
Enrichment
For students who have faced obstacles, trauma, or instability, traditional academics alone often fail to address the deeper needs that influence their ability to learn & thrive. Our ENRICHMENT program at Omaha Street School offers something beyond the textbooks— it provides hope and joy to transform students’ outlook on their future.
Through ENRICHMENT programs like Nature Lab, Watercolor, E-Sports, and Illustration, students can develop skills that inspire creativity, personal growth, and lifelong curiosity!
Friday afternoons throughout the school year, during Enrichment, rotating groups of Omaha Street School students volunteer at different venues throughout our community. Providing our students experiences in serving others coupled with appreciating what we have and what we can offer is at the heart of living Beyond Ourselves.
