About The College and Career Academy at Pruden

The College and Career Academy at Pruden (CCAP) is the career and technical education (CTE) and adult-education center for Suffolk City Public Schools, located at 4169 Pruden Boulevard in Suffolk, Virginia. It was established in 1970 as a regional vocational center named for Peter DeWitt Pruden, a Suffolk native and philanthropist; for decades it was known as the Pruden Center for Industry and Technology before being renamed. Originally it served students from Isle of Wight County, the City of Franklin, and the City of Suffolk.

Rather than enrolling a full-time student body, CCAP serves high-school students who attend their home schools — King's Fork, Lakeland, and Nansemond River High Schools — and come to Pruden for hands-on CTE programs such as automotive technology, cosmetology, culinary arts, welding, masonry, carpentry, health occupations, and computer/electronics technology. Because students remain enrolled at their base high schools for state testing and graduation purposes, CCAP does not have its own Virginia School Quality Profile report card. The campus sits on the U.S. 460 (Pruden Boulevard) corridor and is classified by NCES as a rural-fringe locale.
