Vision
At ALPHA Academy envisions a small school, with a family-like atmosphere. The structure of the program allows the students who attend to re-evaluate themselves and their goals through flexible scheduling, which lends itself to respect individual diversity thus creating a viable option for students who might otherwise drop out. This environment also allows students to be individually creative in their endeavors, while holding them accountable for their own learning experiences as they meet state standards. With small class sizes and a comfortable setting, ALPHA continues to provide a fresh start for students who feel overwhelmed or lost in a traditional high school setting.

Famous quotes containing the word vision:
“I wish I could take back some of the things I said and some of the things I did. But in the bigger picture, I don’t feel that it was violent and terrible. I feel like it was primarily—obviously not completely—moral, based on a vision that the government should be better, and that people could be better, and that democracy should be real.”
—Bernardine Dohrn (b. 1942)
“No sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it. There they are gathered together, blinking up to it with such vision as they have, scanning it from afar, hovering round it this way and that, each cunningly endeavouring, by all arts, to catch some reflex of it in the little mirror of himself.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
