Bible Classes *
*Angelus Bible Institute has partnered with the Mission in accepting the transfer of our Bible classes. (Pauls' letter to the Romans, Synoptic Gospels, Church History, Systematic Theology)
All classes are taught by State Certified teachers from Belmont Community Adult School, which is the largest adult school in the nation.
So far this year, one student completed his high school education and received his High School Diploma, 6 students received their 8th grade certificate, and 12 students have earned their GED.
Assessments:
Each student is individually assessed by a State Certified Student Counselor to determine his/her academic strengths, weakness and learning style in order to create the ideal strategy for success. The assessment is extremely thorough.
Field Trips:
Most of the students who attend LAM are in need of love and encouragement. As part of the learning experience, we offer programs so students can attend social recreation such as museums, art galleries and sports events.
Physical Education
Prolonged drug and alcohol abuse results in extensive physical
deterioration. The Urban Training Institute’s physical
education courses provide a structured program in which all UTI
students participate. P. E. classes use the weight room and gymnasium.
Intramural team sports, involvement in city leagues and running
the L.A. Marathon are highlights of this program.
