Hope all of you had a great month

of March, It amazes me that we already find ourselves in April. As I shared in our last newsletter we have been presented with new partnerships and opportunities and we are very excited to announce the launch of two different programs! The first being that we are now a satellite Campus for Glen Oaks College. Through our collaboration with Glen Oaks College we will offer diplomas in two of the highest in-demand and fastest growing industries, Medical Assisting and Medical Claims and Billing. These programs will not only offer students the opportunity to learn

through lectures and group discussion but also includes very valuable hands on training.

We have also partnered with Aspen University and the Inventive Minds Institute to offer a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. With this flexible format students will be able to take courses online while receiving their hands-on internships in nearby locations.

With Dr. S.H. Jacob a renowned child development specialist and author at the helm and a professional staff, the students experience at the Inventive Minds Institute will prepare them to enter and advance in the field of child care

and early childhood education as an associate teacher, teacher, and or administrator.

Secondly we have also joined forces with Acquire Learning Center to fortify our SES Tutoring component. Under the leadership of Craig and Suzy Aguillard we will be able to offer:

• Homework Assistance

• After-School tutoring

• ESL

• English Language Arts

• Mathematics

• Essay Writing.

If you or anyone you know are interested in our programs please contact us at (909) 388-1700. And thank you once again for all your support.
