Learning at the ALC

A different approach

The ALC tries to use a different approach than the traditional model/schedule.  For example, on Wednesdays the students take part in experiential learning through a different schedule.  They sign up for classes such as YouthBuild (construction), Baking, Cooking, Art discussion, Strategic games, Service Learning, Ikebana (Japanese Floral Arranging), Recreation, Film Study, Escape Room, Nature Walks, and others.  The goal is to give students another opportunity to learn through experience.  These may involve student/staff passions, future career paths, or future hobbies for students to explore.

Night Class Credit Recovery

Night Class Credit Recovery (Independent Study) is for students who need to recover credits and can complete coursework with minimal teacher direction. Coursework will be done online using the Edgenuity platform. Successful completion of each class is worth a .5 semester credit, with up to 2.0 full credits possible.

Contact the ALC Director Daryl Kehler (507.645.1201) or dkehler@northfieldschools.org for more information or to sign up.

High School Credit Recovery Summer School

High school summer credit recovery gives students, ages 16-21, the opportunity to make up missed credits from the regular school year in core academic areas, including English, Science, Social Studies and Math. Course offerings are dependent upon number of students enrolled. Successful completion of each class is worth a .5 semester credit, with up to 2.0 full credits possible.
