Center for Academic and Vocation Excellence (C.A.V.E.) 7645 Magna Drive, Belleville, IL 62223

"From the open house visit Sept 13, 2022 - From a parents' perspective, we are very very impressed with the facilities offered to students pursuing vocational skills. They cover culinary, welding, automotive, wood-working, computer tech, and more. The CAVE has 3 levels that include: -classrooms (with plenty of outlets for laptops and electronics) -very spacious indoor athletic gym/field space a few tennis courts wide (large enough also for marching band practice) -outdoor swimming pool - downstairs yoga / martial arts room, a decent size lunch room -full size brand new industrial kitchen for teaching food prep - general sitting areas for students who may be in-between classes - fully decked out computer rooms - a very spacious area for the hands-on portion of the auto/metal/wood skills, and the list goes on. All said, students who want to learn vocational skills are in a prime position to do so at the CAVE."

"Great school, you will learn much more from this facility than an actual classroom"

"This facility has state of the art equipment and hands-on training for high school students. The school district continues to expand course offerings to create multiple certifications for school-to-work pathways that provide students opportunities to earn great salaries and benefits post graduation! Belleville Township HS is moving in the right direction with this facility and, in doing so, is filling a much needed void for skilled workers, particularly in the metro east region! Kudos!"

"This place is very nice. It is set up very well for educational classes."

"What an impressive place! The most telling information I gathered was from the students. Every one of them told me how much they loved being there and how much fun school was there!"
