The Creative Achievement Academy School is a non-profit private institution for students with academic and behavioral challenges. Our therapeutic approach is based on the conviction that all students can learn.  Creative Achievement Academy provides a nurturing environment in which students establish a new foundation, an equal chance, and a sense of belonging and acceptance. Each student’s program is tailored to his/her individual needs using a broad range of teaching strategies and hands-on activities.

Workplace Readiness programs, career awareness, and pro-social skills are integral to our program. The SLE (Structured Learning Environment-supervised work experience) provides our students with skills that are not available at other educational facilities. Our counseling program also provides networking with outside agencies such as DVR (Division of Vocational Rehabilitation) so our students can connect for the transition after graduation. Many of our alumni continue with their jobs after graduation, and others move on to post-secondary education.  

Our state of the art facility is located at 1667 East Landis Avenue in Vineland.  The building is large enough to house our elementary and middle school students in their own wing and the high school students in a separate wing.  Each wing has its own computer lab.  The building also features an indoor swimming pool, weight room, gymnasium, full kitchen, and cafeteria.  Any parent or Child Study Team interested in more information about CAA is encouraged to call to set up a tour.

Career Education Program
Offering Direction, Experience, Confidence, Unlimited Growth and Opportunity

The Archway Career Education Program combines school and community-based learning to empower an often times stigmatized population of students to help develop positive work attitudes, essential job skills and prepare for the school-to-work transition. The program is open to Archway School students of all abilities and skills, ages 14-21, based on the Archway Schools’ main campus in Waterford and Evesham Townships. The program compliments career-related classroom lessons that include components of the New Jersey Department of Education Core Curriculum Content Standards for workplace readiness.

The program features a number of vocational and career training opportunities including: on-campus work experience, job training orientation, office work and production, classroom instruction, off-campus job samplings, sheltered workshop phrases, cooperative education and job placement. Archway’s Career staff incorporates classroom curriculum to the program to address each students’ IEP goals. Staff includes educators experienced in food service, multimedia design and technology, horticulture, job coaching and a certified New Jersey Department of Education Structured Learning Coordinator.

This program has several partnerships with local businesses to sustain meaningful employment opportunities for students. Off-campus jobs for students (ages 16-21) are through partnerships Archway has with successful businesses active in the local community. By partnering with other organizations that work to empower and promote the success of children, adolescents and early adults with special needs, the Career Education Program demonstrates leadership that provides direction to other organizations.
