PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Father Judge High School is taking learning beyond the classroom. Last year, four students took a nontraditional route following graduation, and they're now paving the way for others to follow.

"We are trying to give kids the opportunity to specialize in the things they enjoy," Father Judge High School principal James Hozier said. "It used to house the priest that ran the school. Obviously, it was taken down. It's going to be our new CTE Academy."

Father Judge's new Career and Technical Education Academy has 20,000 square feet of space and will house new automotive, HVAC, welding and a few other programs.
