School Overview

The John C. Schiffer Collaborative School, located in Sheridan, Wyoming, serves as an alternative educational environment within the Sheridan County School District #2. Designed to support students who may not thrive in a traditional high school setting, the school focuses on a personalized, student-centered approach. By fostering a collaborative atmosphere between staff, students, and families, the school aims to create a supportive community that prioritizes individual academic goals, social-emotional growth, and real-world skill development.

The school is defined by its flexible programming and commitment to restorative practices, providing students with a pathway to graduation that emphasizes hands-on learning and mutual respect.
