Non-Traditional EDUCATION

​​​​​Non-traditional education schools and programs are an option for students who may thrive apart from the traditional school setting. These students may require creative, innovative, and structured alternatives within a different educational setting. 

The Georgia Alternative Education Program (GAEP) Standards are designed to improve alternative education programs through improvement and accountability. They serve as a tool for identifying strengths and areas needing improvement for each alternative education program or school within a school district. The GAEP Standards describe what Georgia's alternative programs and schools need to know, understand, and be able to do beyond the Georgia Standards of Excellence. They enhance opportunities for Georgia's alternative/non-traditional programs to provide standards-based learning in order to make education work for all Georgia's students.

Non-traditiona​l education schools and programs offer these options to students, as it recognizes that a one-model approach is not effective in meeting the goal of making all Georgia students college and career-ready. The Walker County School District supports several non-traditional education methods for its students.
