IN THE LIMELIGHT

Located at 8555 Day Drive in Parma, the campus is a tuition-free charter high school servicing students ages 15 to 21. Students can earn a career tech credential in Healthcare (Phlebotomy, Certified Clinical Medical Assistant, and/or Certified Nursing Assistant) , Business & Entrepreneurial, Manicuring, Construction, Advanced Manufacturing, or Culinary (***NEW FOR 2025/2026!), while receiving a blended model of self-paced learning and direct instruction to earn a nationally accredited high school diploma. Credit recovery and advancement are both available. Students can get back on track or even graduate early to accommodate their post-graduation needs. Old Brook Parma offers a flexible class schedule that works around jobs, childcare, or other obligations. Instructors know that every student learns differently; the approach is to understand what each student needs to succeed and then help them chart both a graduation and career-focused path. Under the direction of Megan Foster, (pictured), the school is making a positive mark on the Parma area. To learn more about the school, call 216-236-3208 or visit their website at oldbrookparma.org.
