The mission of the Hastings Alternative Learning Program is to provide a caring, alternative educational environment designed to meet the academic and personal growth needs of its students.

What is the ALP?
The Hastings Area Learning Program offers an alternative opportunity for students in grades 9-12 and up to age 20 to earn their high school diploma successfully. It is a non-traditional, off-campus setting that offers classes in the daytime, as well as in the evening.

Students must be at least 16 years old to be enrolled in the Independent Studies program.
