Curriculum

Students are placed in an individualized academic program as close to their home school program as possible. In addition, students may participate in group counseling to discuss self-concept, personal motivation, individualized responsibility, and career choices. Usually, high school students are assigned their incoming or comparable four or six courses. Classes are highly-stuctured and discipline-oriented.

The school day at the Northside Alternative High School is comprised of two sessions. The first begins at 7:10 a.m. and ends at 2:40 p.m. The second session begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 3:35 p.m..

N.A.H.S. staff works closely with the home campus, administration, counselors, and teachers to provide students advanced courses and electives similar to those at their home campus. Students must pass a safety test to enroll in vocational training. Materials for personal shop projects are student-provided.

Physical Education requires students to wear gym shoes, shorts, and shirt or warm-ups.
