Get the best of both worlds
Students in grades 9-12 may opt to attend Lehigh Career & Technical Institute for a full day. Full-day students take academic courses in LCTI’s Academic Center, rather than at their sending high schools. It’s the best of both worlds — career and technical education programs plus traditional academic courses — in one place.

Academic Center teachers are state certified in the subjects they teach, ensuring a rigorous and relevant learning environment for students.
Modern facilities
Academic Center classrooms are outfitted with the latest technology, including interactive whiteboards, laptops and virtual reality equipment.
College credit opportunities
Students can earn college credit by completing select Academic Center courses, such as, Accelerated English Language Arts III and IV.
Dual-enrollment options
Eligible students can get a head start on their postsecondary education by enrolling in courses at nearby Lehigh Carbon Community College.
Challenging coursework
Academic Center courses meet or exceed graduation requirements, preparing students for college and career success.
Integrated curriculum
Academic lessons complement LCTI’s career and technical education programs through hands-on and problem-based learning activities.
Community connection
Full-day students study at LCTI, but attend sporting events, enjoy prom, celebrate graduation and mark other milestones at their sending schools.
