The School District 201 Center for Academic & Vocational Excellence (CAVE) Program offers vocational programs in welding, carpentry, culinary arts, automotive and machining. The program is also designed to address the physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs of at-risk students in order to successfully transition back to Belleville East or West High School, on to college or a career. Indoor athletic and band areas are included in the facility. Future programs include early childhood education, advanced technology training, healthcare and certified nursing assistants. The 10,000 square foot building was formerly known as Kings Point and located at 7645 Magna Drive in Belleville.
