St. Mary's School offers customizable academic programs for students with diverse learning needs that are not easily addressed by partaking in a traditional school day. Programs vary for each student but can range from fully online programs, hybrid programs (in-person and online), and other outreach offerings depending on student needs.
Alternative programs are tailored to the needs of each individual student and are designed in consultation with the student, parents, administrators, teachers, and counseling staff. Programs can be in-person, online, or hybrid, can be self-directed and/or teacher-led, and can include any number of course offerings.
Complete a registration form and indicate your interest in Alternative Programming by contacting the school. Registrations are accepted on a case-by-case basis after meeting with the Alternative Programming staff and school administration. School administration will make the final decision on programming.
All courses are taught by a certified teacher. All other St. Mary’s staff (administrators, librarian, counselors, etc.) are available to students with an Alternative Program.
