School Notes

At the Alger Learning Center & Independence High School, we believe that our unique approach to education over the past 40 years has been a part of a larger evolving movement, and it is our hope to continue to play a role in the expansion of educational freedom into the future. Since our establishment in 1981, we have seen our non-traditional, student-centered approach provide a springboard for countless children (and their families) in becoming happy, self-motivated, and enthusiastic independent learners.
We help define each student`s goals and needs as we customize their individualized learning program, and use a variety of methods to identify and evaluate their learning skills, styles, and differences. Experienced teachers then work with both student and parents to design appropriate courses, suggesting and helping locate stimulating resources. We also provide easy-to-understand hints on getting started, recordkeeping, and meeting state requirements, and suggest user-friendly resources for those who have little or no experience in homeschooling, helping them make a smooth and stress-free transition to independent learning.
