Alternative High School

The Somers Alternative High School provides a non-traditional educational setting and opportunity for students. Students earn credit in the four core areas: English, Social Studies, Mathematics and Science. In addition, some students enroll in BOCES programs to acquire skills for a chosen profession as well as to earn local credits. All courses are taught in accordance with the New York State Regents standards curriculum, and students will be required to take and pass Regents exams to meet their graduation requirements.

Classroom instruction is interdisciplinary, team-taught by two faculty members in English and Social Studies while two additional teachers provide instruction in math and science. Physical Education credit is earned in a regular high school physical education class. Throughout the entire program, the small student/teacher ratio and individualized instruction are instrumental in providing an appropriate educational environment for students.

Core academic courses in the alternative school are offered on the junior and senior levels. Additional courses may be available based on students’ needs. However, no ninth or tenth grade courses are available through the alternative school program. An internship experience for twelfth graders is a required part of the program.
