Building Opportunities for Every Student

Our Mission

The mission of the Richmond Career Education and Employment Academy (RCEEA) is to provide an intensive functional life skills curriculum that is oriented toward career education and competitive employment for Richmond students, ages 14 to 22. Outcomes for all students will be competitive employment, enrollment in meaningful post-secondary programs, or other productive activity that directly contributes to the well-being of the community. Integrating and engaging students in their community in the areas of work, recreation, education/training, wellness, etc., to the greatest extent possible, will enhance the productive contributions and vocational capacities of youth with varying cognitive disabilities. The Richmond Career Education and Employment Academy typically will also focus on developing communication, social, and independent living skills as well as severe academic challenges.

Learn More About Us

The Richmond Career Education and Employment Academy’s vision is to ensure all students, despite disability, are able to actively achieve post-secondary success and participate in social engagement.
