EspañolALTERNATIVE SCHOOL
(Redirected from Alternative schools)
An 'alternative school' is an educational establishment with a curriculum and methods that are nontraditional.[1] Many such schools were founded in the United States in the 1970's as an alternative to mainstream or traditional classroom structure."Alternative Schools Adapt," by Fannie Weinstein. ''The New York Times'', June 8, 1986, section A page 14. A wide range of philosophies and teaching methods are offered by alternative schools; some have strong political, scholarly, or philosophical orientations, while others are more ''ad-hoc'' assemblies of teachers and students dissatisfied with some aspect of mainstream or traditional education. In 2003 there were approximately 70 alternative schools in the United Kingdom. In the UK public funding is not available for alternative schools and therefore alternative schools are usually fee-paying institutions. [2]
