At Altus Schools, teachers and families work together to create a flexible schedule tailored to each student’s needs. Like college, students complete most of their coursework at home while also benefiting from personalized support at our innovative and futuristic Resource Centers. Students typically attend the Resource Center 2-3 days a week for 2-3 hours of focused, one-on-one or small-group tutoring sessions. However, they are always welcome to come in more often for additional support in any of their courses, ensuring they have the help they need to succeed.

During their scheduled time, students have the opportunity to receive help from their teacher, ask questions, turn in assignments, and/or test on the curriculum.

Students at our schools learn how to be self motivated and should set aside 4-6 hours a day in order to meet minimum work requirements.
