Albany Free School The Free School is a process which must be experienced to be fully appreciated. The kids themselves make the choice to join us, after a week's visit (we do not leave that decision to parents alone) and since the changes they may want and need to make occur only over time and the space to discover for themselves who they really are, we ask parents for a commitment to allow their children to stay in the school for at least a year, so that the value we have for them can be fully realized. Academic Community for Educational Success - ACES is the winning hand your student can hold. Alpine Valley School - Based on the Sudbury Valley School (see below), Alpine Valley is a place dedicated to freedom, respect and the joy of learning. Here, learning occurs as that magical state of being fully engaged and freely exploring your interests, gifts and talents. True freedom and responsibility emerge from trust and respect. Every student is a part of all school decisions and stands on equal footing with the staff and each other. Alternative Community School (Ithaca, NY) - ACS is a small middle school/high school, grades 6 through 12. There are about 260 students, who are accepted to ACS through random draw from the applicant pool. ACS is a public school, and there are no fees or tuition. We are an alternative to traditional schools, in our curricular and school governance philosophies. We believe in being both a community within our school and being part of the larger Ithaca community.

Acrobat Reader may be downloaded from the Adobe Web site Alternative Schools and the Students They Serve: Perceptions of State Directors of Special Education Recent data collected from a national survey estimates that about 12% of all students in alternative schools are students with disabilities. Yet we know very little about the nature of the instructional programs offered, special education processes and procedures in place, accountability practices, and outcomes for these students. In addition, we do not have complete descriptive information on the kinds of alternative schools and programs currently in operation. This Policy Research Brief reports findings from interviews conducted with 49 state directors of special education (or their designees). It describes their perceptions of (a) basic characteristics of alternative schools, (b) major issues for alternative schools, (c) major issues for state education agencies, (d) major issues for students with disabilities, and (e) educational reforms impacting alternative schools. The brief concludes with a discussion of trends that require further study. This issue was co-authored by Camilla A. Lehr, Ph.D., and Cheryl M. Lange, Ph.D., Alternative Schools Research Project, Institute on Community Integration (UCEDD), University of Minnesota. Eric Lanners, Project Assistant, assisted with development of the brief.
