THANKS TO A WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT GRANT, STUDENTS AT
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT While demand has always been strong for aviation maintenance technician graduates from Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, that demand has gotten even stronger, thanks to the growth of Cincinnati’s air cargo industry—led by CVG airport’s Amazon air hub. To answer that need, Cincinnati State is partnering with Kenton County School District to offer a half-day, two-year program for high school juniors and seniors. The program kicked off in the fall, with students taking a school bus to the college’s Harrison Campus, which houses the Aviation Maintenance Technology program. Students learn everything from drone training (to prep for Federal Aviation Administration certification) to general aviation maintenance classes and math. After two years, students will have a total of 29 college credits. “If they come here to continue their education after they graduate from high school, they will be well ahead,” says Jeffrey Wright, Aviation Maintenance Technology program chair. Wright anticipates program growth and has been developing partnerships with other area high schools, too, including Kentucky’s Boone County Schools, Three Rivers Local School District in Cleves, Great Oaks Career Campuses in Sharonville, and Butler Tech in Hamilton. “These are highly paid, highly rewarding jobs,” Wright says. “Eight employers have already come to talk to the high school students this year about their future opportunities.”

Kings and Goshen high schools can get on-the-job, advanced manufacturing training, an area in desperate need of employees. Students at the high schools participate in a hands-on model, where they visit Festo Didactic, a technical education equipment provider. They learn about the fundamentals of manufacturing during the 10-week program and visit weekly, says Jessica Dean, Youth Services Community Operations manager at Easterseals of Greater Cincinnati, which implements the grant. Students also learn about applying to Festo’s Registered Apprenticeship Program. “This program is meant to target students who are not transitioning to university,” Dean says. “These are students who have aptitude,” who are good test takers with solid math and critical thinking skills, “but maybe the traditional college pathway isn’t for that person.” Students receive this training at Festo’s Regional Service Center, a 47-acre state-of-the-art plant that serves all of North America. It is among the 15 largest employers in Mason. Festo isn’t the grant’s only industry partnership. Based on the region’s needs and interests, Easterseals also works with companies in areas such as manufacturing, architecture and construction, and information technology. “Students go there for tours of the facility. They job shadow an apprentice onsite in the shop, and someone will take them out in the field,” she says. When schools join the program, they work with Easterseals to identify programs of interest to their students. Many students were interested in becoming electricians, Dean says, so they worked with the Independent Electrical Contractors to craft a program for participants. It’s proven to be a successful model: One student was hired on the spot, and they are waiting to turn 18 to start working. Easterseals intends to expand offerings over time to encompass more industries. “It’s a joy for me to get to watch and get to interact with the students and talk to them,” Dean says. “They have this eagerness.”
BUILDING BLOCKS A focus on the regional, state, and national workforce gap is important to districts throughout the region. Here are just three projects to encourage high school students to fill those gaps. Verizon Innovative Learning Lab: At the Verizon Innovative Learning Lab, students can build robots, code, design video games, make apps, and more, according to Cincinnati Public Schools. Aspects of the lab include virtual reality headsets, a 3D print station, electronics, and robotics. The lab was unveiled last fall. Princeton Innovation Center: Princeton City Schools is helping students personalize their learning with a mixture of in-person and online classes, and allowing students to move at their own pace, according to the district’s website. Students complete a personalized learning plan at the start and, by program completion, can take advantage of a range of job opportunities. A recent highlighted career, electrician, has a projected 10-year career growth of 14 percent. Princeton STEAM Institute: The $1 billion redevelopment of Tri-County Mall will include Princeton School District’s STEAM Institute. The 120,000-square-foot space will focus on skills to fill the area’s workforce gap. “Creating opportunities for our students to be prepared for any and everything that life offers is yet another example of closing this opportunity gap,” Tom Burton, the district’s superintendent, told The Dayton Daily News in March.

University of Cincinnati is helping high school students graduate with a year of college already complete. Under the Early IT Program, high school students can finish their first year of college coursework at their high schools, in classes taught by their own teachers. Then, should they choose to continue studying in the program at UC, they begin with a year of coursework under their belts. They can, effectively, start at UC as sophomores, working on one of two degrees: cyber security or information technology. In the latter, students can specialize in software development, networking and systems, game development and simulation, or data technology, says Hazem Said, UC’s director of the School of Information Technology. The college has been working on the program since 2015, with the first high school partnerships rolling out between 2017 and 2019. Cincinnati Public Schools was the first partner, and now Early IT works with more than 40 area districts, he says. High school instructors collaborate with UC faculty and can always reach out with questions or for additional information, says Selena Ramanayake, the School of Information Technology’s assistant director of course success. “We get reports from teachers saying, ‘We’ve never had a program that has all of this support,’ ” she says. “Students say, ‘I didn’t know what I was going to do, and now I’m like, Definitely IT.’ ” Early IT students who enroll at UC can take advantage of on-the-job co-ops throughout their college careers, as well as an accelerated master’s degree program, Said says. Students who opt for this can graduate in four years—with career experience through their 20-month co-op, where they earn an average of $45,000—with their bachelor’s and master’s degrees. UC has placed students in co-ops at more than 100 different companies, some of which offer full-time or part-time jobs after graduation. So far, three cohorts of Early IT students have begun at UC, says Alana Calhoun, the School of Information Technology’s assistant director of student success. That first group, who started in 2019, will graduate in spring 2023, Said adds. “Absolutely,” Calhoun says, “we will be cheering at graduation.”

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS With a three-week residential program, Kentucky high schoolers can earn three hours of college credit at Northern Kentucky University. The Governor’s School of Entrepreneurship (GSE) lets students develop a business model, design a prototype, and pitch a startup idea to an audience and judges. “GSE teaches the opportunities, benefits, and pitfalls of taking a business concept from the idea phase to pitching it to potential investors,” says GSE Executive Director Tasha Sams. “Basically, we turn high schoolers into business owners for free.” The highly selective, competitive program isn’t a “cushy summer camp,” Sams stresses. It combines STEM skills with enterprise development, and it’s highly effective—students love it. By the end of the program, teens use business lingo and are confident in delivering business pitches. The program, which started in 2013, has been housed at NKU since 2018 and has served more than 600 teens, and it has a history of success, Sams says. Alums have launched more than 30 small businesses and filed for multiple patents. “We seek the innovative thinkers, the collaborators, the risk takers, the change makers, the teens with a drive that is unstoppable,” she says. “They are Kentucky’s future business creators and leaders.”

“How can we be successful partners with the greater community?” It found the answer in Cincinnati Public Schools, with the Withrow University High School of Business Pathway to UC’s Lindner College of Business. Withrow’s mission is four-year college-focused, and it has the most dual-enrollment options of any Cincinnati Public School program, according to Withrow’s website. The new pathway program with UC will earn high school students college credit for the classes they take in their own high school, taught by their own business instructors, who work with faculty at UC’s Lindner College of Business, says Kendra Dewberry, Lindner’s assistant director of student recruitment and undergraduate program. When students complete the coursework, they will have UC college credit, which they can use to start at the university or transfer to another college, as one would do with any existing collegiate transcripts. “Selfishly, we are helping recruit students so they see the wonderful opportunities available in their own backyard,” Dewberry says. “It’s common to consider schools farther away, but they can have an amazing experience and take advantage of everything at UC,” an urban research university with Division I sports. The first group of students to participate will graduate from Withrow this spring, and the 12 seniors in this accounting class will have that UC credit. As of early April, Lindner was still enrolling students for fall 2022, but Dewberry says that some students have expressed interested in sticking with UC. Next, the program will add entrepreneurship to its slate of classes, eventually adding economics, English, and math. While other schools have expressed interest in the program, Withrow is the only participating high school—for now. The school district covers all program costs, Dewberry says, so it is free to students, right down to the books. It’s available to students in seventh through 12th grade, ideal for those with solid skills in problem solving and math who’d like a more rigorous curriculum and think they may be interested in business but want to test the waters before declaring a college major. “Our program and programs like it are amazing,” she says. “It really opens up their possibilities.”

An Introduction to the Trades STARTING THIS FALL, ADULTS INTERESTED IN THE TR ADES CAN

attend evening classes twice a week in the industries that are most hungry for new employees. The Intro to Trades Pathway at Kentucky’s Enzweiler Building Institute is split into two programs that offer the same material: the long-running high school-based program for students, and the new evening program, for those 18 and older. High schoolers spend four days a week at the part-time program, says Vicki Berling, the director of professional development for Enzweiler Building Institute in Erlanger, which has been working with students since 1967; the adult-focused program will kick off this fall at Enzweiler’s new Latonia branch. This is closer to the bus line, or even within walking distance, for the potential students who could most benefit from the program. “This is an apprenticeship model,” Berling says. “We know you learn on the job.” Which means after receiving the hands-on experience during the day, students attend evening classes to the learn the “why” behind the daytime’s “what.” The new Latonia classes have gotten a lot of support through the City of Covington. City council voted in favor of the building, she says, and provided some financial support for first few years there. The Latonia opening has also received a grant from Duke Energy. “Lots of community partners are cheering us on,” Berling says. The Intro to Trades Pathway focuses on a variety of areas, including plumbing, electric, HVAC, and masonry. Those interested in attending the evening program can sign up through Berling, who will help them figure out the best program to study. The variety of programs offered is helpful, too, for the participating high schoolers. “When they come out, we like them to have been exposed to all of the major skill trades in the hopes that in their senior year, they can find placement for a co-op,” Berling says. “Usually the co-op will lead to a full-time job for most students.”
UNLOCKING KEES FUNDS Everyone’s eyes are on SB163. The bill would allow schools with a program in the five top workforce-needed areas in Kentucky to receive reimbursement through Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship, more commonly known as KEES. It fixes a long-time problem, says Erin Klarer, vice president of government relations at the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority. Some proprietary schools don’t participate in Pell grants and are providing workforce training. Currently, those proprietary school students who’ve earned KEES money in high school can’t spend it at their institutions. If passed, this bill would allow those students to be reimbursed. Right now, that reimbursement process works only for registered apprenticeships and other skilled trades work. Expanding the reimbursement process also means narrowing what programs are eligible for reimbursement down to the top five most-needed areas, as determined by the Workforce Investment Board: advanced manufacturing, construction, business and information technology, health care, and transportation and logistics. “It provides more opportunities for students to stay in Kentucky and attend a Kentucky institution,” Klarer says. “We would probably have a pretty quick return on investment for filling workforce needs and filling some of these desperately needed jobs available right now.” Editor’s note: While the measure did pass, Governor Andy Beshear vetoed it as this issue went to press. Opponents claim the bill as written would keep formerly incarcerated persons from accessing educational opportunities.

UNCHTIME AT LEAVES OF LEARNING LOOKS DIFFERENT FROM A traditional elementary, middle, or high school. Elementary kids share space with teenagers on the verge of graduation, impromptu music sessions spark around the five pianos scattered through the school, and students arrive from classes they’ve chosen personally. It’s a place where kids wonder whether they’re on recess or still in class because learning has never been so fun before. What began with 33 homeschool students in a greenhouse has grown into an ambitious nonprofit serving hundreds of full- and part-time students. Inspired by Montessori schools, the program’s design emphasizes the child over the curriculum, and it always begins with a conversation. “Everybody who comes in has an individual interview—the kids and the parents—to find out what their situation and story is,” says founder and co-director Diana Osborn. “You talk to real people here. We find that when we meet with kids, find out what their expectations are, what they want, what they need, we can help guide them toward a schedule in our program that will meet their needs. And that’s worked really well for us.” LEAVES OF LEARNING GREW ORGANICALLY FROM OSBORN’S OWN experiences as a student. “I grew up not enjoying school,” she explains. “Loved to learn, loved to read, but hated school. [I] felt it was very restricted. I plodded along and did my best. When I had my own kids, I really didn’t want to send them into the same system. I taught them that the world was full of all kinds of exciting things to learn. So, I enrolled them in a Montessori school.” Things went well until all three of Osborn’s children reached school age. As the price of the Montessori school grew for her family, bills forced her back to work. She’d left her job to spend more time with her kids, and the dilemma forced her to reexamine her options. A friend recommended homeschooling. “I was kind of a reluctant homeschooler,” she says. “We were having so much fun, just learning all kinds of things. I think when we started, they were 5, 7, and 9. But it was a little overwhelming.” She took her kids to visit their old Montessori school once, and while they missed their friends, they preferred the freedom and excitement of homeschooling. It gave Osborn an idea, one she wanted to share with other homeschool families stuck in the gaps between homeschooling’s flexibility and its lack of socialization. A meeting at the Symmes Township library with other homeschool families laid the groundwork. Three hired teachers would guide the children through consistent courses one day per week to balance the rest of the week’s homeschool instruction. Where would they meet? One of the participating families had an in at a greenhouse in Loveland. “They gave us a space upstairs where they housed all their plants. If we cleared it all out over the summer, we could use the space for free,” Osborn recalls. “It was a huge ordeal. But we started; it was a big success. The kids loved it and wanted more. We called it the Wednesday School. We gave the kids the option of coming up with a name. The kids came up with all these ideas, and the top vote-getter was Leaves of Learning because we were in a greenhouse. The second vote-getter was The Cool School, so we’re very happy that Leaves of Learning was the winner.”
Since those early days, Leaves of Learning has held class in a church, an abandoned house they refurbished themselves, the Totes office building in Loveland, a VFW hall, and a barn. Their current location on Plainfield Road in Deer Park has played host for 12 years, but Osborn recalls a former student excitedly telling her, “Leaves of Learning isn’t a building. It’s about who we are.” RATHER THAN PRESENTING STUDENTS WITH A STANDARD CURRICULUM to guide them through their school years, Leaves of Learning reverses the process.“We’re very relaxed,” Osborn says.“We see more anxious kids [now] than we’ve ever seen in 25 years, and we try to provide a space where they can come in, and feel at home, and feel they are OK—where we don’t talk about their deficiencies and what they need to focus on. We talk about what they love to do, what they’re good at, and we partner with them, building autonomy so they can have a voice in their education. “We have one rule, and it’s respect. Respect can pretty much cover everything. We find kids treated with respect give respect back.” It flows in all directions, as well, not just from students to authority figures. As the program expanded in numbers, it also expanded its options. Every year, families choose from hundreds of classes to build a personalized schedule that doesn’t just prepare a student for graduation but plays to the student’s strengths and interests. “We started with a few enrichment classes and now we run the full gamut,” Osborn says. “A lot of kids use us as a full private school. They’re technically a homeschooling family, but they get everything here. It’s kind of like a college for kids. You can take what you want.” Art classes range from supervised independent study to sewing courses and ceramics. Some students choose basic English language arts, but others go for Homeric Epic Poetry instead. Registration brings a rush for students because they never know what’s new. “We have to offer the basics, but we ask teachers every December, ‘Dream: What are your passions? What would you really like to teach, like a new, eclectic class in your field?’ And we get some great stuff,” Osborn explains. “We have more ways to get your core requirements in that are outside the box.” Leaves of Learning takes a different approach to the social element of education as well. “The multi-age [aspect of] this program is very unique. You have kids intermingling at lunchtime of all different ages, and that really holds the older ones in check. You hear a couple teens starting to swear, and you say, ‘Oh my goodness. Did you realize that you’re a mentor and a role model for these younger kids? We understand you’re experimenting with this, but this isn’t the time or place.’ And it’s a much more real environment. It teaches the younger kids not to be afraid of the older kids.” Different ages don’t just mingle at lunch. Classes accept at least two or three different grades at a time, giving advanced and slower learners the chance to find an appropriate and exciting challenge. Some courses accept any students 15+ or 13+. Students have decisions to make and a metaphorical field to frolic in rather than only a couple of divergent paths to their education. “The kids love coming here,” Osborn says, and she has the anec-

dotes to back up her claim. “I think it was our fifth year,” she laughs. “It was looking like we were going to have to call a snow day, and I had a group of teens get together and call me on my cell phone, and say, ‘Diana, we really don’t want you to cancel school tomorrow, so we will come and shovel the driveway and walks because we don’t want to have a snow day.’ We did, indeed, end up having a snow day, but I always remember that as, wow, we’ve created something kind of good here.” Joy in learning, often left behind after elementary—or even

preschool—thrives here. Teachers and staff treat high school in particular as more than a liminal space between childhood and college. “There’s this big rush to rush children through the system. Let them go and enjoy their college experience, but this is high school, and it’s different. And the social aspect of it is really important,” Osborn says. “Our goal is to slow down, enjoy the process, explore a million cool things. Once they get on that college track, they’re focused on that degree and career. We get some anxious kids from prestigious schools who [have] just shut down, and we bring them back to life by slowing things down.” THE WHOLE WORLD SLOWED DOWN IN 2020. EVERYTHING THAT MADE Leaves of Learning wonderful for the students—varied social interactions, intimate class sizes, a physical place of escape—became a challenge. When the restrictions arrived, and the staff had to make tough safety decisions, they lost a wave of momentum. “[The year of] the pandemic we were set to have our most stable year, financially, ever,” Osborn says. “There were families who didn’t feel comfortable, and we switched to virtual, and that isn’t a good thing for preschoolers. So, there were a lot of kids who we refunded, and the next year, in the midst of the pandemic, when STUDY HALL Clockwise we started, our enrollment decreased by 33 from above: Leaves percent.” of Learning students Their preschool program, Little Sprouts deliver persuasive Montessori, took the biggest hit. While speeches; designing virtual learning became a struggle across bridges with paper and all grades, the smallest children had the tape; climbing a tree for phys ed. least interest in or opportunity to interact
through a screen. “There’s also been the polarizing political element of masking and no masking, and we’ve done our best to say that this isn’t political, and this is what we need to do to stay in operation,” Osborn adds. “We have some students who are immunocompromised, we have some teachers who are. We erred on the side of caution. I think the kids get it. They understand this is what we had to do to meet in person, and they did not want to go remote ever again.” The step away from regular schooling, and perhaps the opportunity to glimpse what motivates their kids academically, brought many new parents’ eyes to the program. “There isn’t a typical student. We have lots of gifted kids. We have kids who struggle with various things. It’s pretty much the full spectrum. One thing we do have is parents who are looking for something different for their kids and care about education,” Osborn says. “We have a lot of people who come in here who have never thought about homeschooling, and they see us as a viable alternative for their kids coming full-time.” As families reexamine what a safe space for learning means to them, more and more seem to see the value of the slower path. Despite needing government loans to keep the nonprofit functioning during the worst of the pandemic, Leaves of Learning has broken out of its old shell with fresh growth. “We have improved and increased. This has been a really good year. We’re back to our previous pre-pandemic levels, plus a growth of 10 percent,” Osborn says. “We just had registration for next year, and we are 25 percent beyond that. We’re nearing capacity. We don’t want to have more than 350 students. Right now, we’re at 275.” As the trees turn green, Leaves of Learning is poised to continue its relaxed, reevaluated version of excellence. Osborn, now in her 60s with all three children grown, is eyeing retirement. While she’s confident in the program’s future with her co-director, Christie Sawyer, she hopes the concept will grow in new directions. “I would love to spread this model of education. We have something that works,” she explains. “I don’t know if it’s reproduceable, but that would be my hope.” In a society forced to reconsider the value of time, joy, and respect, more places where students and teachers so enthusiastically celebrate learning could be a breath of fresh air
SCHOOLS GUIDE OHIO SCHOOLS
SCHOOLS GUIDE 2022 Welcome to the 2022 Schools Guide, Cincinnati Magazine’s overview of 356 public and private schools and districts in the three-state Cincinnati region. This guide offers relevant statistical information for families looking for a new school for their kids or checking up on their current school, district, or diocese. The Schools Guide is a one-stop shop for comparing essential school information.
The COVID-19 pandemic is still having an effect on schools. Ohio’s 2020– 2021 report cards do not have grades or ratings, Kentucky’s 2020–2021 report cards do not include an updated accountability rating, and Indiana’s 2020–2021 report cards use data from previous school years, which we have indicated in the key of abbreviations. Because the Cincinnati region spans
three states, the Schools Guide is organized by state, and listings contain state-specific data for each private school, all public school districts, and all public high schools. The public school data was collected solely from the Department of Education databases for Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Private schools are not required to divulge data to the state, though many

FOUR-YEAR PLAN
STAYING ON TRACK WITH SO MANY DATES AND DEADLINES CAN BE A STRUGGLE. HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND AS YOU GO THROUGH EACH YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL.
Freshman Year Although ninth grade seems so far away from college, this is technically when college prep begins. While there are no tests or deadlines to consider for this period, looking at clubs and extracurriculars is important. It’s an opportunity to explore your interests, and if something is not for you, choosing to leave an organization will not be impactful at this point.
Sophomore Year In 10th grade, selecting the clubs you want to focus on is key. At this point, student organizations begin to consider which students are potential candidates for leadership positions later on. During the second semester, you can also take the PSAT10 and practice ACT to get some practice for standardized tests ahead of time.
COLLEGE BOUND How do you choose the college that’s right for you? WITH SUCH A WIDE RANGE OF COLLEGE options out there, selecting the right school for you can be a stressful process. Before beginning your search, it’s wise to determine your priorities to better understand what you’re looking for. Do your research! Look for colleges with programs geared toward your academic interests, and sort them into three categories: “reach” schools, “safety” schools, and “match” schools. It’s OK to dream big—but make sure you have a backup plan. Looking for more affordable options? Start by setting a budget. If you’re not tied to a specific location, looking into colleges in small cities might be helpful, since colleges located in big cities will likely be more expensive. Every student, regardless of need, should look at scholarships and financial aid options. Colleges typically offer scholarships based I L LU S T R AT I O N BY R O M A N 3 D / S TO C K . A D O B E .C O M
on academic performance, financial need, community service, athletics, and even extracurriculars, so apply to as many as possible to maximize your opportunities. Your guidance counselor can help, or you can use one of the many scholarship search engines, like Scholarships.com. Outside of academics, ask yourself what resources you’re looking for in a college. When facing academic or personal stress at school, it’s important to have trustworthy supports to rely on. What are the class sizes like? Larger public universities might have more student resources, while students at smaller schools may benefit from smaller classes and more personalized instruction. Values might be another aspect to consider. What’s the community like? Is religion an important consideration? Remember, you’re going to call this school home for the next four years. Feeling valued, safe, and supported is a must. — ANDREA OBERTO
Junior Year During the first semester of 11th grade, you should begin making final preparations for standardized tests. Schedule at least one of each test (the SAT and ACT) before the end of this year. Eleventh grade is also the time to be thinking seriously about taking on leadership positions in student organizations.
Senior Year College applications typically start during the first semester of 12th grade. Before applying, make sure you’re satisfied with your standardized test scores—this is the last chance to re-take the ACT and SAT. Are you going to be applying early action or early decision? Be sure to file on time. Most applications are due at the start of your second semester, with regular decisions going out in early spring. —A .O.

CLOSING THE GAP
THE NATIONAL MOON SHOOT FOR EQUITY PROJECT ADDRESSES DISPARITIES IN EDUCATION EQUITY. LOCAL SCHOOLS ARE GETTING ON BOARD. — CI E R R A B R I T T E N
Four Cincinnatiarea schools have joined a national initiative called Moon Shot for Equity that aims to close equity gaps within regional cohorts of two- and four-year colleges and universities by 2030. Miami University, Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, Northern Kentucky University, and Gateway Community and Technical College have partnered to provide equity-minded education, advance student success, and serve as a regional model to other institutions worldwide. Research shows barely half of all Black and Latinx students who attend college
earn their undergraduate degree in six years compared to 70 percent of white students. Data also shows that first-generation students and those from low-income families graduate from college at significantly lower rates than those from more privileged backgrounds. Without a degree, students who drop out are far more likely to struggle to pay off student debt. Leaders from the initiative’s partner schools hope to address these disparities and eliminate persistent equity gaps at colleges and universities by developing cohesive equity plans based on best
practices, policies, and technology. The national partnership, which groups colleges into regions, is led by the Education Advisory Board (EAB), a Washington, D.C.based education firm. The four Cincinnati member schools will share resources and ideas, while EAB will provide research, technology, and advisory services. Each of the project’s regional clusters must commit to carrying out at least 15 research-based best practices and policies to boost equity while mutually benefitting the needs of students. These best practices can range from updating academic policies
to providing equity training. It’s all part of EAB’s national effort to increase the number of college graduates from historically underrepresented populations, including students of color. By providing programs tailored to each student’s academic and financial needs, the organization helps ensure students are set up for success before they enter college, as well as after graduation. Ultimately, local member schools hope Moon Shoot will produce more college graduates with improved career outcomes, regardless of race or socioeconomic status.
