Alternative Education Center at Morgan

The Alternative Education Center (AEC) at Lamar, located on Baker Avenue in Augusta, functions as a specialized instructional facility within the Richmond County School System. Designed to serve students who may face challenges in a traditional comprehensive high school environment, the center focuses on providing a structured, supportive setting that emphasizes academic recovery, behavioral redirection, and the attainment of a high school diploma. By offering smaller class sizes and personalized attention, the school aims to re-engage students who have fallen behind in credits or who require a non-traditional approach to successfully meet graduation requirements.

Beyond core academics, the AEC at Lamar prioritizes social-emotional growth and the development of positive decision-making skills. The school’s curriculum is often tailored to help students overcome barriers to learning, providing them with the resources necessary to transition back into traditional schooling or to successfully move toward post-secondary opportunities. Ultimately, the center serves as a vital resource for the Augusta community, working to ensure that students at risk of dropping out have a clear, supported pathway to completing their education and achieving long-term personal and professional success.
