Desired Enrollment

Student Questions

To be answered by the student please! Parental help typing is fine, but we don’t consider applications where the answers clearly do not come from the kids.

What have you liked about your past schooling? What have you disliked?

What do you like learning about? What goals do you have for your education?

An ALC is an environment where students of every age are free to direct their own learning and activities, yet this freedom comes with responsibilities. I understand that I am expected to: 1) Treat others with respect (whether student, volunteer, staff or parent) 2) Behave appropriately for a shared space, including not disrupting others’ learning activities 3) Participate in making, honoring and upholding rules and structures of the community, and 4) Help solve conflicts when they arise.

I understand and agree to these responsibilities.

Parent Questions

Tell us about your child. Personality? Interests? Challenges?

How does your child handle themselves when they are upset? What kind of conflict resolution practices have you and your child utilized at home?

Why do you think ALC would be a good fit for your child?

Describe your child’s prior schooling. Please include names/dates/schools attended/reason for leaving.

I understand that ALC provides a real-world learning environment for students to develop self-direction, self-motivation, and self-knowledge. As such we never require students to attend specific classes or produce specific work. The school will support students’ requests for learning, but we do not direct their learning activities according to any curriculum. The School Meeting may make certain activities mandatory for the smooth operation of the school. Currently these are: morning meetings, end of day meetings, clean-up, fire drills, and appearing in conflict resolution meetings when a complaint has been filed. Beyond these, their choices are up to each child.

I understand, support, and agree with this philosophy and extent of freedom

Tuition Contribution
