The alternative education teachers at Ashland High School believe that every child in our classrooms is inherently valuable regardless of past (or future) success.

As such, we seek to:

1. Develop a personalized education plan with academic excellence as the centerpiece
2. Build upon basic skills while increasing the relevance of the curriculum - making connections between academic concepts and real, human experience
3. Encourage discussion and questions - enhancing critical thinking skills
4. Build community
5. Require accountability from every student within our classrooms.
