For students in grades six through eight, the school provides a fully equipped science lab and a full program of math courses, including advanced algebra. It is rare when a child in the middle grades has a language or math class with more than six students in it. Overall school class size averages 17. Musically, Alpine also excels. With a full band, orchestra and chorus program, students are given the opportunity to learn about and perform with an instrument even in the primary grades.
Technology is a particular emphasis.
Along with a fully equipped computer lab and media center and the capacity for distance learning, Alpine offers its students access to the Internet and to computer-assisted learning in every classroom and as a component of every subject area. With a diverse student population drawing on the richness and traditions of many cultures, Alpine also provides students with an incomparable perspective on the contemporary world. Supported by an active parent organization and a genuinely committed Board of Education, Alpine School is in the forefront of language arts and other state-mandated instruction. Exceptional children receive exceptional attention in Alpine. Overseen by a director of special services, three full time staff are devoted to ensuring that children with learning difficulties and those with extraordinary aptitudes are supported and challenged while remaining a part of the regular school community.
