Alternative Learning Experience Overview

Is a traditional educational setting not working for your student?

Are you looking for alternatives at no cost to you?

Alternative Learning Experience (ALE) is public education where the instruction is delivered outside of a regular classroom schedule. The intent of ALE is to ensure that students have educational opportunities designed to meet their individualized needs. Market Square Education partners with districts in Washington State to provide ALE programs.

ALE follows all public education requirements.

How it works

Contact us to schedule a meeting. DO NOT FILL OUT THE ONLINE ENROLLMENT FORM THAT IS MEANT FOR PRIVATE CLASSES. After filling out enrollment forms and completing a choice transfer request, your student would be enrolled in one of our partner districts and assigned a teacher advocate. The TA will design a learning plan and monitor progress. Your student will feel a sense of autonomy, have noted improvements in academics and progress, while being connected with adults who care about their learning and life.
