Waterford Alternative High School is an educational program for students who prefer a small high school setting or who have not been successful in the regular classroom environment. Alternative High School students who fulfill Waterford School District graduation requirements earn a high school diploma. This is not an adult education program. Students are between the ages of 14 and 19.  

The Alternative High School promotes student success through small class sizes. Teachers identify individual student strengths and weaknesses and the teaching methods they use are often modified to meet individual student needs. Waterford Alternative High School teachers provide a supportive and positive environment through one on one instruction and frequent reinforcement. In addition to academic learning, we strive to instill in students a positive attitude and the interpersonal skills needed to become productive citizens.
