Our ALO Vision
ALL students, grades K-12 will be competent and confident learners as they progress through these crucial years. All students will be academically, socially, and emotionally successful each year of school.
Our Mission
ALO develops and distributes community based, sustainable systems (programs and materials) that provide additional academic support outside the basic school program. Our programs and materials focus on academics, building relationships, and the positive protective factors that enable students to meet or exceed state standards, graduate from high school, and be better prepared for the workforce or college. Our current mission is to provide middle schools, and plan for this the Academic Learning Program.
