THE ALPHA II COMMUNITY

While many schools claim that community is a large part of who they are, at Alpha II we've taken it as one of our two foundational pillars (self direction being the other). 

Whether it's the consensus model we use for inclusive decision-making, bringing in folks to mentor us, going to local colleges and businesses for dual credits and co ops, or the trips outside of school when we engage in real world learning, our idea of community is much larger than just those of us who come to the school everyday. 

We also have a very active parent community council that both joins us in community decision-making and supports families transitioning to the free-schooling learning model.
