It's About Choice

Your career choice makes a big difference to your future. It affects how much money you make, your lifestyle and the satisfaction you feel from what you do every day. You can set an exciting new direction for yourself at Area 31. Prepare yourself for a high-wage, high-demand career right out of high school - or earn college credits and be far ahead of other students if you choose to go on to college or a one- or two-year training program.

Area 31 is way more than high school. Area 31 is high school with direction, hands-on learning and real-world work experience.

Not sure which program to choose? We'll help you decide which career path is right for you. The important first step is to choose Area 31 Career Programs for a better future.

Area 31 students attend career preparation classes for a half-day - either morning or afternoon - everyday. The other half of the day is spent at your home high school. Most Area 31 career programs are based at Ben Davis High School, but our students come from 11 different high schools.
