School Overview

The Charles F. Fernandez Center for Alternative Learning, located in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, serves as a specialized educational facility within the Stevens Point Area Public School District. Designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional academic environment, the center focuses on providing flexible programming and personalized pathways for those who are struggling to succeed in a conventional comprehensive high school setting.

The school prioritizes a supportive, smaller-scale atmosphere where students can work toward their high school diplomas at their own pace. By offering a blend of credit recovery, vocational opportunities, and social-emotional guidance, the Fernandez Center aims to re-engage students in their education and prepare them for post-secondary success, whether that includes entering the workforce, pursuing technical training, or attending college.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
