Dakota County Alternative Learning Center (ALC) is a specialized educational institution located in Rosemount, Minnesota, designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional approach to learning. As an alternative school, it focuses on providing flexible programming, personalized academic support, and credit-recovery opportunities for students who might be at risk of not graduating or who require a different environment to thrive academically and socially.

The school is part of a broader commitment to student success within Dakota County, offering a smaller classroom environment and a supportive atmosphere that prioritizes individual growth. By tailoring its curriculum to meet diverse student needs, the ALC helps learners navigate challenges, regain momentum toward graduation, and prepare for post-secondary opportunities, whether that be entering the workforce, technical training, or higher education.
