Our Philosophy
The primary purpose of Hallmark College is to serve students, business, industry, and the community. The dedication of staff and faculty to professional excellence in technical education affords the individual student the opportunity to attain a high level of skill competency while developing the whole person, emphasizing ethics, social responsibility, and the value of work to lay the foundation for lifelong learning and success.
Educational Philosophy
Hallmark College’s educational philosophy requires students to achieve mastery of sequentially ordered course material and to demonstrate competence in performing skills or behaviors that are central to specific tasks, activities, or careers. Advisory Committees or other industry representatives verify these identified tasks. Students are told specifically what performance competencies are required. Instructors regularly evaluate students’ progress against these stated objectives. Finally students do not advance to more complicated skill material until they perform tasks that are required for successful job performance at a specified level of competency. Field trips, guest speakers, school activities, etc., are incorporated into the scheduled hours without deletion of required course material or student projects.
The Hallmark Vision
Hallmark College was built around the steady vision of our founder Richard Fessler. That vision was to provide quality education, training and guidance to individuals seeking a better way of living, and by doing so, to supply industry with a supremely skilled workforce.
More than 40 years later we are proud of our accomplishments and particularly of thousands of lives which have positively changed as a result of a journey which began at Hallmark.
Already recognized by many industries and employers as the "preferred provider" of graduates, we will continue to develop a richer and more valuable educational process for both the student and industry.
We focus on ensuring that excellence and integrity permeates everything we do. Hallmark will be known by reputation...
- A reputation of high quality, innovative and effective educational programs, facilities and equipment;
- A reputation for producing exceptional graduates;
- A reputation for professional performance by our outstanding faculty and staff, noted for their personal care and commitment.
