At Education Alive, we believe that every child in Oklahoma has the ability to bring their potential to fruition and pursue whatever type of future they want. With the help of our ICAP program, your child can begin a path that truly gets them ready for a specific career and future. For example, instead of general courses in traditional high school, your child will receive a curriculum that interests them.

We want your child’s curriculum to resonate with them, so that is why we offer a curriculum for practical and attainable careers. From music and filmmaking to criminal justice and dentistry, your child will find a curriculum that suits their special interests and passions when they learn with Education Alive.

If your child is ready to enroll, or if you have any further questions about our ICAP program services, please reach out to us today by calling 405-458-8787.
