Work Program

A variety of work experience is available to enrich each student’s learning experience at Campion Academy. The work program is an integral part of the school program, not only because it helps students pay their school bills, but also the daily responsibility of a specific job teaches young people self-discipline, consistency, and economy. It also offers students the opportunity to develop self-confidence and competence in preparing to enter the work world.

Typically, a student working 2-3 hours per day regularly during the school year should earn a minimum of $200 per month. There are a limited number of jobs available on campus such as administration office workers, teacher aides, custodial positions, cafeteria positions, maintenance and grounds, dormitory desk workers, resident assistants, and student literature evangelists. Whenever possible, students are encouraged to find jobs at local community businesses. The Academy normally provides transportation to local community jobs if occurring during a normal school day.

Work opportunities may be available for village students; however, priority is given to dorm students because of their higher school expenses.

Students are strongly encouraged to find employment at home during the summer months. Summer earnings can make a significant impact towards a student’s tuition costs.

Limited work opportunities are available on Campion Academy’s campus during the summer months. Typically, students are hired for maintenance, grounds, custodial, and limited office positions. Because the dormitories and cafeteria are not open during the summer, students must live locally or arrange privately to stay with local families during the summer.

Work Sponsorship

The work sponsorship program is designed to allow a student to increase the amount they are paid per hour when working a part-time job while attending Campion Academy. It works on a similar basis as a walk-a-thon or bike-a-thon. Students recruit sponsors who will guarantee to sponsor them for a specific amount per hour for each hour they work. The sponsor may choose any amount per hour.
