Homestead, FL – April 7, 2009 – Continental Academy, a distance education high school located in Miramar, Florida, recently formed a partnership with the Homestead Job Corps, the nation's largest career and technical training program administered by the U.S. Department of Labor. Continental Academy provides accredited, high school completion programs designed to overcome obstacles normally associated with a conventional classroom setting, while the Job Corps provides educational training programs at no cost to economically challenged youth.

The partnership facilitated Continental’s online distance learning diploma programs at the center. Most recently, Continental worked with The Dell Foundation to purchase 9 new computer workstations for the Homestead campus to assist the center’s implementation of the 16-credit EAGLE and 24-credit Foundation online high school diploma programs.

This joint venture will provide the tools, scholastic challenge, and all essential academic support, leading to superior academic outcomes which will better equip the students to pursue their future educational and career goals.
