Basic to the educational philosophy of the college is that education is more than learning facts from a book.
Education includes learning skills necessary for self-sufficiency in the real world.
Hard work, honesty, use of time and other resources, neatness, order, and planning are but a few skills that are taught in the almost 20 industries and departments operated by the college. Many students earn all or a portion of their college expenses by working in one of the industries. Products are grown or manufactured which are used both on campus and for sale in the marketplace.
