Area Learning Center Programs

The Area Learning Center of Minnesota’s Intermediate District 287 provides educational programs that are tailored to meet the needs of at-risk learners and to help each student earn a high school diploma. The largest alternative program in the state of Minnesota, this award-winning initiative focuses on:

Intervention, Prevention, and Recovery:

• Preventing at-risk students from leaving school

• Recovering students who have already dropped out

• Intervening when students need a little extra help or specialized attention

Learning Plans with a Custom Fit

With more than 30 program options, the ALC offers a personalized, informal and more flexible way of learning.  Services are provided, year round, for students ages 5 to adult who need alternatives to reach their potential and to fulfill educational goals. Classes are held at convenient sites both during the day and in the evening to accommodate differing life styles.

Intermediate District 287’s ALC serves students who live within 13 Hennepin County school districts. Students from other Minnesota school districts may also participate.
