 The HFM BOCES Alternative High School Program has been
specifically designed to provide an educational option for
students from our component school districts in grades 9-12
whose needs are not met by our traditional secondary schools.
The program will assist students in attaining a high school
diploma through maintaining the same academic requirements as
home schools.
Students are helped and encouraged to make fuller use of the
environment for learning by the use of small group direct
instruction, individualized achievement contracts and a positive
reward system.
In addition, most students will be involved in a scheduled
school to work program.
 The comprehensive educational program at the HFM BOCES
Alternative School is founded on the following premises:
•
All students can learn - Important variables include: teaching,
time on task, motivation, participation, practice and learning
environment.
•
All students should learn - Education should prepare students
for a successful and productive adult life. Every learning
experience provided by this school is offered with the clear
understanding that it promotes the growth and development of
adolescents into successful, productive adults.
Every adult in the Alternative Education Program has one primary
purpose: to have a positive impact on this learning-preparation
process.
