• At Agua Fria Union High School District (AFUHSD), we value every student and are committed to providing opportunities for all to succeed. Our Alternative Education Department offers non-traditional educational resources designed to meet the diverse needs of students, ensuring access to a quality education regardless of their circumstances.

    The Alternative Education Department at AFUHSD serves as a pathway for students who thrive in non-traditional learning environments due to factors such as chronic illness, long-term suspension, and other extenuating circumstances. Our programs offer smaller, specialized learning environments as a meaningful alternative to disengaging from the traditional high school experience.

    AFUHSD's Alternative Education serves a broad range of students from various socioeconomic and educational backgrounds across the district’s boundaries. Our goal is to provide a positive, structured environment that helps students regain momentum toward success, whether through academic achievement, social-emotional and behavioral growth, or vocational training. 

    Through a dual-focus curriculum emphasizing core literacy skills, character education, and practical training, we are preparing our students for high school success and beyond—whether that means returning to a traditional educational setting or transitioning into the workforce or higher education.
