Opportunity School

An opportunity school is an alternative to regular schools. Students who may be applicable to attend opportunity schools are students who have unique situations that may hinder their abilities in an average schooling environment. This may include: students who cannot work well in large groups such as an average classroom, students who have difficulty paying attention to their teachers and/or their school work, students who have been suspended or expelled from their home school and need to make up their credits, pregnant students, students with physical or mental health problems, students who don't feel comfortable among certain teachers or classmates, students who cannot afford the cost of attending a regular school, and other unique situations.

Famous quotes containing the words opportunity and/or school:

    The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise.
    Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 38:24.

    I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.
    Henry David David (1817–1862)
