LIFE AFTER HARBOUR
As a table requires four
legs to stand sturdy
and strong, so too our
students require instruction
in four key areas to
successfully transition
to adult life. Students
are challenged to develop
skills in the areas of
academic competence,
social competence, emotional
competence, and vocational competence. In doing
so our students graduate
with a solid foundation,
prepared to enter the
adult arenas of continuing
education, career and family --
ready to succeed!
Beginning in 1997, and every year since, we have conducted graduate outcome surveys to measure the effectiveness of our programs in meeting our mission. Every year we have found that more than 90% of our graduates are successfully employed, enrolled in post secondary education, or both. In a country where the unemployment rate of individuals with disabilities exceeds 75%, we are proud to know that we are effectively preparing students to contribute to the health of their communities by leading successful lives.

CCBC Harbour Horizons
Harbour Way Innovative
learning and the Community College of Baltimore County have partnered
to create CCBC Harbour Horizons. The CCBC Harbour Horizons Program
is a two year, five day a week college experience for students
with mild to moderate learning differences who want to learn to
live and work independently while earning a non-credit completion
certificate. Located on the Catonsville Campus of the Community
College of Baltimore County, Horizons students learn to: manage
personal finances, read and write for independent living, use computers
for independent living, study issues of health and wellness, study
issues of civic responsibility and other contemporary issues and
work and live independently. CCBC Harbour Horizons will be offering
courses in Fall 2008. For more information please contact Martha
