Are there specific academic standards that students must meet to qualify for enrollment?
No. Being open enrollment, we accept students unless they have serious issues that we may not be able to address (this is rare). However, not every student can be successful with a program that focuses on the importance of students accepting responsibility for their own learning. Our middle/high school program is based on an individualized approach where the learning is facilitated by a lead teacher who has been trained to encourage independent learning but also to monitor each student’s progress continuously and to “teach” objectives that continue to challenge some students. To be able to learn independently will require some academic skills. We discuss those expectations with the parents during the interview. We discuss the provision of additional staff to work with students that might be struggling; however, we want parents to understand that our program might not work for every student.
