I Kan Regional Alternatve Att Ctr

High School 6th - 12th

School Overview

The **I Kan Regional Alternative Attendance Center**, located at 50 W Industrial Dr in Kankakee, Illinois, serves as a specialized educational facility designed to support students who have struggled in traditional classroom environments. Operating under the umbrella of the Kankakee County Regional Office of Education, the center provides a structured, alternative setting aimed at re-engaging students who may be at risk of dropping out, facing disciplinary challenges, or needing a more individualized approach to academic success.

The school’s primary mission is to offer a safe, supportive atmosphere that prioritizes both credit recovery and behavioral intervention. By maintaining a smaller student-to-teacher ratio and utilizing tailored instructional methods, the center works to help students meet state graduation requirements while developing the social-emotional skills necessary for their post-secondary goals. It functions as a critical resource for the local school districts, providing a bridge for students to either transition back into their home schools or successfully complete their education within the alternative framework.
