Reason for AIS

"We have outstanding traditional schools, but they're equipped to deal with traditional students," EVSC Superintendent David Smith said. "So we have additional layers of support at both campuses of AIS."

Details

AIS is an alternative school with two campuses. Open to students in grades 6 to 12, the Academy for Innovative Studies - Diamond Campus, offers a non-traditional learning environment geared to addressing the holistic needs of all students. Prior to enrollment, each student has an Individualized Education Plan or Individualized Service Plan. AIS Diamond students have the possibility of graduating with a Core 40 Diploma or earning their GED. With smaller class sizes each student has the opportunity for more individualized attention and instruction.
