About Matrix...


Alternative schools may provide some flexibility or programs that are intended to facilitate completion of high school, but often lack crucial on-site structures such as guidance counseling, support services, college and career counseling, credentialed teachers in every academic content area, adaptability and flexibility for high school success plans, and other essential wrap-around services needed to meet the needs of this most vulnerable population.   The Matrix is carefully designed to meet all these needs.  The Matrix provides a student-centered grades 9-12 instructional program through a competency-based, personalized instructional model, designed to allow for flexibility while maximizing access to educational resources for every student.


At Matrix, students work independently, rather than in a traditional classroom setting. Students have the choice of whether to be on site to work on assessments, allowing them to work from anywhere, and schedule times and dates to meet with a teacher for individualized support.


Our school is designed to allow students to access their curriculum online at any time of the day from wherever they are. Students, parents, and teachers partner to create a class schedule that respects and meets the needs of students.
