information = 215-561-0820The Career and Academic Development Institute (CADI), opened its doors on September 7, 2004, and is an accelerated non-traditional charter high school located in Philadelphia, PA. The school was developed as a cooperative effort between OIC of America, a non-profit organization, designated to serve the community with the mantra of “Helping people help themselves”, (founded by the late Rev. Leon Sullivan) and the School District of Philadelphia. The school provides transitional services both academic and developmental to a myriad of students of diverse backgrounds, with many being from low income and underserved communities. CADI services students ages 17-21, who have been absent from traditional high school for at least six months.

The Career and Academic Development Institute’s curriculum is parallel with the school district of Philadelphia’s high school standards of learning. CADI was uniquely designed to assist students by providing several different program options that may fit students scheduling needs; which include year-round sessions during the day. Students can also earn credits at home, or wherever internet access is available though the ExtraLearning Online Virtual Academy; where students receive computer assisted instruction and an online subscription to internet lessons and tutorials. Along with Program Director C. Benjamin Lattimore, Principal Indira Lawson, and Vice Principal Ron Nichols; the Career and Academic Development Institute has a dynamic team of instructors, case mangers, development specialists, and administrative support staff.

The Career and Academic Development Institute in conjunction with Verizon has implemented the Extended Saturday Education program, which will allow students to develop proficient competencies in web design and media using Microsoft FrontPage. Students will then showcase their learning by updating the CADI website for an elective credit. Students will also have the opportunity to earn an additional credit based on their current credit needs on the ExtraLearning system.

Eligibility Requirements: Individual must be between the ages of 17 and 21 and either (a) enrolled in a Philadelphia School District school, but has failed to earn a significant number of credits towards graduation (b) has previously dropped out of school; or (c) who is returning from an adjudicated court placement.

Registration: Contact the School District of Philadelphia's Office of Transitional and Alternative Education, 215-400-4220.
