Welcome to the Continuing Education Center

welcome!

The CEC is an independent study-based - and Minnesota Department of Education approved - Alternative Learning Center. Offering students ages 16 through 21 the opportunity to complete the necessary graduation requirements to earn their high school diploma, the CEC’s independent study model combines a required amount of seat time attendance and teacher instruction hours with a required amount of academic completion or performance. Along with individualized and small group instruction, we incorporate work experience and On the Job Training, Career and College Exploration, and much more. Read more.

The ultimate goal of the CEC is to give students the opportunity to earn their diploma, become lifelong learners, and to become committed, productive members of their community and society.

Hands-On Presentation at the CEC

Thank you again to Greg Olson (Auer Steel & Heating Supply Company) and Mike Blaskowski (Finken of St. Cloud) for another great presentation about the world of HVAC.

CEC trip to SCTCC

SCTCC never disappoints! 24 CEC students headed south to the SCTCC campus this past Wednesday. They got the FULL tour and even got to play in the "sandbox", examine the human body on their state of the art Anatomage table, walk through the brand new robotics lab, and meet some of the great SCTCC faculty and staff. Thank you for an enlightening and inspiring experience, SCTCC!
