The Clinton Central Alternative School Program believes all students will learn. We seek academic achievement by recognizing the unique needs of at-risk students and by offering non-traditional educational opportunities relevant to their concerns, attitudes and abilities. We strive to assist students in coping with the challenges of society and daily life so they may be better prepared to adapt, overcome and pursue any challenges they may face in the future.
We believe it is our responsibility to address the holistic development of students without discrimination as each student is an individual with a unique combination of needs and concerns, desires, attitudes and abilities. We further believe that academic excellence can be achieved through a partnership of students, staff, parents, and community that emphasizes non traditional methods of instruction and experiential learning.
