Academic studies at Mountain Meadow with certified Montana High School Accreditation. This plan accommodates students who are new to Mountain Meadow and/or have not been successful in public or private schools. Students who need close supervision, time away from distractions and additional help structuring their academics usually begin with this plan. 2. Alternative Learning Center combined with home studies. The all-day Alternative Learning Center is an adjunct to the high school in Thompson Falls, Montana. Students take courses with certified teachers away from the mainstream school environment and have the opportunity to quickly advance with their academic work. Tutoring is available for students who are behind in their studies or need help setting and achieving goals to graduate on time. 3. Partial to full time mainstreaming in the local community school. Students who are serious about their school work, have matured to accept a higher level of personal responsibility and are ready for additional social interactions (including extracurricular activities) become senior students and peer group leaders who have the privilege to attend the local community Middle School or Senior High. This allows for a final step in the students program process by involving them in normal social activities which prepare them with life skills and decisions for the future with the added structure component that helps the child learn to make choices on their own.
