	Alternative school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alternative schools are geared towards students whose needs cannot be met in the traditional school such as underachievers who do not qualify for special education.
		Generally an alternative school serves as an extension to a larger traditional privately- or publicly-run primary or secondary school, although similar programs exist in higher education settings that serve adults returning to school.
		The major goal of an alternative school is to provide opportunities for the students not succeeding in the traditional classroom setting to obtain academic credit, career exploration activities, vocational work experience, and extended teacher/peer support in an alternative setting where the unltimate goal is that of obtaining a diploma.

	ERIC/CEM - School Choice Discussion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Alternatives are typically student-centered, have a noncompetitive learning environment that measures improvement and shuns comparisons between students, and have instructional programs stressing a specific philosophy or school culture (Koetke 1999).
		Schools may be either openly punitive or "highly structured," as in alternative education programs for disruptive youth funded by Texas' 1995 Safe Schools Act (Bickerstaff and others 1997), or therapeutic and remedial, as in Lexington, Kentucky's technology-infused Central Alternative High School serving 100 adjudicated youth (Koetke 1999).
		Seeing small schools and innovative alternatives as sharing the same characteristics, she says "the small schools and schools-within-schools movement occurring in the nation's cities today is actually a test of whether small alternatives can survive in large systems" and can adapt those systems to support such innovation.
