Brooklyn Home to Nation's First Orthodox Jewish Vocational School for Girls

According to article on the Jewish news website chabad.info, Crown Heights, Brooklyn is now home to the nation's first Orthodox Jewish vocational school for girls:
Originally opened for teenage girls who were not thriving in the standard girls yeshiva system, [Ohr Chana Vocational Academy] began to modify its mission during the 5769 school year to become the first Orthodox girls vocational high school in the country.

This year Ohr Chana will offer a full, dual-track curriculum: One track caters to the focused and self-motivated student who wants her high school experience to help her grow spiritually through advanced and meaningful Torah learning.

The second track caters to the student who can best succeed in a small, non-pressured classroom environment and who has a drive to actualize her potential, develop her talents and excel  perhaps for the first time in her school career.
Every girl deserves to spend four years experiencing enjoyment, success and spiritual growth, the school's founder, Rebbetzin Sara Labkowski, said in the article.
