ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS

Alternative Programs is a public high school that is part of the Montgomery County Public Schools school district, located in Rockville, MD with about 115 students offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 12th Grade.

The Alternative Programs department, located at 14501 Avery Road in Rockville, Maryland, functions as a specialized division within Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). Its primary mission is to provide structured, supportive educational environments for students who may struggle in a traditional classroom setting. These programs are designed to address the unique academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs of students, offering them a pathway to success through smaller class sizes, individualized instruction, and enhanced access to support services.

The programs administered through this office emphasize re-engagement and credit recovery, helping students maintain academic progress while navigating personal or behavioral challenges. By providing a safe and focused learning environment, the department works to ensure that all students remain on track for graduation. The initiative reflects MCPS’s commitment to equity, aiming to provide flexible educational alternatives that empower students to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential within the school system.
