Madera County Superintendent of Schools

The Career Technical and Alternative Education Services programs offer a wide variety of services to students that need an educational option different from their prior experiences.  We offer programs in Career Technical Education, Charter School Options and Alternative Education Programs.  Our programs are designed with a lower student to teacher ratio, and a small school environment where staff reaches out to students.

Students have the opportunity to meet with instructors during class time, before school, and after school.  We offer ELD and Academic Intervention classes, after school tutoring, Career Technical Programs, and after school credit recovery classes.

Our staff gets to know the students' capabilities and can offer specific solutions to both learning and emotional needs.  Students have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of field trips focused on academic learning and after school sports programs. 

 

 

Alternative Education Programs are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the curriculum is aligned to the State Frameworks and Content Standards. High school students are able to earn credit toward graduation and develop employment skills. Students who complete the program transition to their neighborhood schools, attend college, or find success in the world of work.
