Welcome To The Alger Learning Center
& Independence High School
Providing educational alternatives, and assistance and enthusiastic support for Homeschoolers, Unschoolers, and other independent learners, since 1981.
Experience the Difference an Individualized Education Can Make!
The Alger Learning Center & Independence High School was founded in 1981 to provide students with a creative educational alternative to public schools, while empowering them to take charge of their own lives and learning.
Our educational
philosophy
is grounded in the belief that learning is an ongoing, lifelong
experience. We strongly believe that students deserve trust and the
basic freedom to make choices, to put ideas into action, and to grow
and learn in their own way, according to their own learning styles,
while furthering their educational and lifetime goals.
Our services include:
- Global Distance Learning
- Individualized, self-paced curriculum
- Official transcripts and diplomas
- Record-keeping services
- Enthusiastic homeschool assistance
- Custom homeschool curriculum
- Unschooling recognition and support
- Adult high school completion
- Online learning options
- Validation of credits for Extracurricular Activities
- On-site classes, library, and tutoring services
- Satellite/Umbrella School partnership program
We offer a local assisted learning program, national and international distance learning programs, homeschooling and unschooling assistance, and an umbrella program for homeschooling families who seek validation of their work. We also offer annual assessments (both standardized and informal), on-site tutoring, and an innovative experience-based adult high school completion program. Through our Satellite School program, we help educators set up and administer their own affiliate schools around the world.
"We have been providing innovations and alternatives in education for over 30 years. Students completing our programs have gone on to experience success in universities, community colleges, and art and technical institutes. Our programs are designed to provide unbridled learning with freedom for spontaneity, while enhancing creativity, inventiveness, and self-esteem. Since our founding in 1981, we have seen our non-traditional, student-centered approach provide a springboard for countless children (and their families) to become happy, self-motivated, and enthusiastic independent learners.
