The primary objective of the Alternative Program is for students to earn credits toward graduation with a high school diploma from their sending school district. Many of these students have been identified as having learning and/or emotional handicaps that have interfered with their functioning effectively in a traditional educational setting. The Alternative Program is approved by the New Hampshire Department of Special Education to serve both Learning Disabled and Emotionally Handicapped students. By focusing on the core academics, along with physical education and outdoor, recreational activities at Second Start, many students are able to continue to attend their sending school for half days where they can access a variety of elective and enrichment courses. Many times this relieves a significant stressor and allows the student to succeed in both settings. For students in need of more separation from the sending school, the Choices and TET programs are available and award elective credit through work on transition, social, work and life skills.
