Purpose. Difference. Achievements.

Purpose

Options was founded in 2002. We serve grades 6-12, offering a variety of in-person, hybrid and virtual programs, meeting the ever-evolving needs of our student-population and world. Options was designed to support the academic and social needs of students who haven’t achieved their highest potential in a traditional large public school.

Difference

At Options, we don’t force our students to conform to a cookie-cutter system — we’ll work with them directly to design a plan that will maximize their individual academic success. Our highly-qualified instructors and administrative team’s priority is seeing students earn their education in a supportive environment and reach all their goals.

Achievements

How is success measured at Options Schools? We believe in encouraging innovation and creative thinking, fostering an environment where students feel welcome & excited about their education. We believe in emphasizing student accountability and independence.
