Our online high school is a fully accredited, private, high school academy that offers full- and part-time options to students who need a high quality, alternative education. Two-thirds of our students are referred by their schools or other families, and they choose ALVS for:

Success

Over 100,000 students have passed our nationally accredited courses and received course credits from their school of record. ALVS students have a 90% passing rate, and they do better than the national average in subsequent related courses.

Students shouldn’t have to wait 24 to 48 hours for help! ALVS students get the support they need, when they need it. Real-time support with ALVS teachers and tutors also includes text and video chats.

Engagement

Our acclaimed courses center on active, personalized learning: Students learn by doing–at their own pace–and are motivated to complete their coursework. Educational tools such as text to speech, simulations, and study guides are built into every course to help all students achieve learning success. Students are also supported by a full team of adults including teachers, counselors, coaches, and tutors.

“We tried another private online high school before coming to ALVS. It was more expensive, and the courses were not user-friendly at all. I was really impressed by ALVS just after previewing the courses. I liked the way they were laid out and that you can print everything out.”

– Karen Wey, Parent
