- Entrepreneurship Pathway: A three-year entrepreneurship program in partnership with build.org that culminates in a nationwide student design challenge.
- Medical Science Pathway: In collaboration with Allegheny Health Network, this five-year college and career pathway trains students (beginning in seventh grade) to become medical doctors.

A cohort of 11th and 12th grade students spend part of their day on the Homewood-Brushton campus of CCAC to take classes for college credit. The program is free of charge, and students may receive a stipend based on their grades.
MENTORING MATTERS
Through an innovative teacher-student mentoring program, our dedicated teachers act as guides, helping students uncover and explore their passions, talents, and potential career paths. By creating a supportive, encouraging environment, mentors foster open discussions, challenging students to think deeply about their interests and aspirations. Through personalized advice, hands-on experiences, and constructive feedback, mentors empower students to explore fields that resonate with their strengths and curiosity.
As students navigate questions and discoveries, mentors provide insight and resources, connecting them with professionals, internships, or projects related to their emerging interests. This relationship builds confidence and clarity, allowing students to discover their chosen profession with a sense of purpose and excitement.
