Customized Education: Our Approach
Our alternative learning environment allows us to successfully reach learners who are looking for something more than the traditional classroom environment. We customize our academics using differentiated instruction to challenge each learner at our school. Coursework is completed independently, in small groups, or in one-on-one tutorials with teachers. Each day begins and ends with Life Skills classes to explore problem solving skills and personal goals. Classes are based on the Florida Sunshine State Standards as endorsed by the Department of Education.
