Why should I choose the Alliance Academy over other hybrid schools?
Yamhill-Carlton Alliance Academy offers you the best of two educational settings. We are a school-at-home community where you can educate your children with the support of a public school. We offer technology (Chromebooks and online curriculum choices), traditional textbooks, or you can select a blend of digital and printed curriculum. Alliance staff believe in an individualized, personal approach and we support you as you develop the best educational experience for your child. A licensed teacher is assigned to your family and they regularly check-in and support families as needed. We encourage our students to be active and involved in their communities and support that by reimbursing parents for eligible activities.
How much does Alliance Academy cost?
Alliance Academy is free.
What support do students get?
All families are assigned and supported by a licensed mentor teacher. In addition to individual monthly mentoring meetings with families, mentors can help families with:
- scheduling and pacing of coursework
- questions about each curriculum choices
- navigating educational standards/expectations
- offering supplemental materials
What do I need to do to enroll?
If you live within our district we just need our registration packet completed for each student.
If you live outside the Yamhill-Carlton School District, you will also need to apply to transfer from your resident district to YC.
