The program at North Eugene Alternative has been established in an effort to better serve youth who have not found success in traditional programs.

School Improvement Goals include: Providing an accelerated and individualized academic program for students to attain a high school completion diploma; developing a community learning environment in which relationship building is a critical aspect; and coupling academics with experiences that promote personal and social growth. Program Highlights include: a strong transition program that gives students the skills necessary to explore career opportunities and post-secondary educational options; teachers in the program assume the extended roles of service coordinator, mentor and confidant; low student to teacher ratio; family atmosphere; and spacious and comfortable classroom setting that is largely student-designed.

A growing number of students do not find success in traditional high school programs. These students have widely dissimilar capacities and motivations for learning. Their learning is often affected by a sense of isolation in large and impersonal institutions. North Eugene Alternative is designed to better serve these youth with an academic program that also stresses community, personal growth and social success.
