Outcomes
Families join the APL community for a myriad of reasons and the outcomes for their students are equally as diverse. Regardless of the path a student takes, our goal at APL is consistent: that it is the best bet for a high quality of life and it involves the student in the decision-making.
We approach education differently, so our graduation data is a little different too. APL students enroll at various points in their K-12 journey, and they also transition to other programs at various points. We most often see these decisions being made after 5th and 8th grade, during those major school transition years, most often to because a student is ready for more or less support in their day. Our student success teams engage actively with families in that decision-making process to help weigh the pros and cons for their student.
APL high schoolers graduate with a state-recognized diploma. However, the best outcome for an APL student comes from our Pathways Program where they set a plan for their own future, that's exciting, realistic, and fulfilling for them.

APL has surrounded my child with kind and neurodiversity-informed staff who have helped him feel positive about himself just as he is and to enjoy his educational experience despite being challenged with multiple learning differences.

Our student is with true peers. At public HS they were ignored. For me it's a relief to see that they are seen and heard.

[APL] is a truly accepting, neurodiverse place that fully embraces each person's individual personality. It creates an atmosphere of respect and safety as well as belonging and fun. It is unlike any other academic environment I have come across in our extensive search for the right school for our kid.

Our son was really struggling at his previous school. In under a year, he has gone from avoiding school to happily going to school at APL and learning. This has made an enormous improvement in all our lives.
