Some people define alternative education as “a school or program maintained and operated by a local or regional board of education that is offered to students in a nontraditional educational setting and addresses the social, emotional, behavioral and academic needs of such students.”
Others may start “a school for students whose learning challenges, depression or anxiety made attendance at a large, comprehensive public high school problematic”.
