Alternative Learning Center

Academics

ALC teachers follow the Williamson County Schools’ Scope and Sequence. All standard level tested subjects are explicitly taught by our teachers including 8th grade core classes, English I-III, Biology, Chemistry, Wellness, World History, US History, Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. All other classes are facilitated and tutored by the ALC staff.

For all other facilitated classes, our serving teachers of record will send work via Schoology to students and ALC teachers. Teachers of record will receive grade updates from ALC teachers at the grade reporting periods and upon a student’s return to school. All school assigned textbooks and Chromebooks should be brought to the ALC by the student or family. If students are not making adequate academic progress, the serving school administrators, teachers of record, and families will be notified. Semester and final exams are sent to ALC by school of record.

The Odyssey Program

All students at the ALC will participate in our Odyssey program, a program designed to help students earn their way back to their school communities and learn new skills and competencies to reintegrate back into school as an active participant. This program is designed to be a therapeutic response to a student’s specific situation and personal needs. Students engage in community building and small group activities to practice the following 5 competencies:

• Self Awareness

• Self Management

• Social Awareness

• Relationship Skills

• Responsible Decision Making
