Here, the focus is on smaller class sizes and creating a close-knit community. Students, parents, and teachers work together to make sure that a child is learning, growing, and maximizing his or her potential. The teaching professionals of the Alternative Education Foundation recognize that each child is unique, and therefore there is not a standard way of teaching. Kids are able to learn in a way that makes sense to them. The environment at the school emphasizes strengths and helps to address the struggles of each student.
