A pictorial tour of eastern Connecticut. The mission of the alternative program is to prevent students from dropping out of school and to provide a flexible environment to focus on academics while guiding students to become accountable for their behavior. Our goals are to foster academic achievement in a small, structured environment, help students earn a high school diploma and equip students with the skills necessary to be a productive, competent adult. Students attend academic classes during the morning hours and participate in a more hands-on approach in the afternoon. Students repair caned chairs for members of the community, silkscreen T-shirts, repair bicycles for The Bear that Cares organization, and produce wreathes during the holiday season to raise money for school activities.
Students participate in a supported employment program.
They are expected to gain experience in areas of interest in order to prepare themselves for meaningful employment or post-graduate work upon graduation. This enables the students to develop the skills necessary to participate in society. All Rights Reserved.
