School Overview

112 ALC Middle School, located in Chaska, Minnesota, is a specialized educational program operating under Eastern Carver County Schools (District 112). Unlike a traditional middle school, the Alternative Learning Center (ALC) is designed to serve students who may benefit from a more personalized, flexible, or supportive environment outside of the standard classroom setting. The program focuses on credit recovery, academic acceleration, and social-emotional growth, aiming to re-engage students who might be struggling with the pace or structure of conventional school models.

The school emphasizes a small-group, student-centered approach, prioritizing individualized learning plans that help students stay on track toward academic success and high school readiness. By leveraging the resources of District 112, the ALC provides targeted intervention and support services to ensure that students develop the necessary skills to thrive academically and personally.
