Alternative Learning Centers

Alternative Learning Center (ALC) Academies work with students at their skill level to help them build confidence in their abilities.

  • Small class sizes and greater individual attention

  • Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

  • Graduate with a High School Diploma, prioritizing the credits you need to graduate. Graduation credit requirements align with the state’s expectation of 21.5 year-long credits.

Our alternative high school students are determined to earn their diploma. We are a program for students in grades 9-12, up to age 22.

Our ALC Academies are credit-based programs that offer:

  • High school diploma classes that meet the state standards requirements

  • Modern Classroom instructional model, which uses both online and in-person components

  • Semi-flexible pacing for student work completion

We have 4 locations across the West Twin Cities Metro

ALC Enrollment

Enrollment into our ALC Academies is completed using Online Registration (OLR). This is our electronic enrollment system to communicate updates about contacts, health, emergency, and other important information about your student. The process saves as you complete each page which gives you the flexibility to register your student anytime and anywhere.

A ParentVUE account is needed to complete Online Registration (OLR) to enroll.
