College and Career Advantage

Recognition for life’s learning experiences beyond the classroom.

Get Recognition, Validation, and High School Credit for Student Self-directed Learning

Since 1984 we have attracted students worldwide with diverse needs and interests. Students who have ceased to thrive in traditional schools, the highly motivated who have a dedicated passion, and students with disabilities and special needs are all welcome.

For various reasons, some students are not able to take advantage of our full-time enrollment program.  Therefore, we have created the College and Career Advantage program where your high school student can get many of the advantages of TLCI while remaining enrolled in their current school.

The academic classroom is not the only place important life learning takes place.  Unfortunately, traditional schools give academic credit only for classes completed under their systems.  However, colleges, universities, vocational schools and employers often look for extracurricular learning and life experiences that distinguish one student from another.

We offer high school credit and formal recognition for extracurricular activities and creative life experiences not recognized by traditional schools including:

  • Sports not offered in school
  • Self-taught skills like bike repair, blacksmithing, and fashion design
  • Skills learned through scouting and youth group activities
  • Social entrepreneurship
  • Other entrepreneurial pursuits
  • Technical or other skill certification
  • Musical and art related activities
  • Internships, seminars and work experience gained in part-time jobs
  • Interest-led volunteer activities
