Graduation Alliance’s dropout recovery program pairs time and place flexibility with a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS). Designed for at-risk students, our curriculum is taught by highly qualified teachers and supported by an Academic Coach and 24/7 virtual tutors.

In addition to supporting your students, we are also a cost-effective option. Graduation Alliance operates on a pay-for-performance model, so you’ll only pay when students earn credits.
