Courses are taught in a classroom setting by experienced teachers. Math and Science concepts are reinforced by a Holyoke Community College adjunct professor, utilizing PLATO courseware. PLATO is a powerful, computer assisted resource specifically designed to meet the needs of alternative education programs. Courses and modules are available to back up the curriculum for the independent learner and offer higher level opportunities for advanced learners. Courseware correlates with state and national standardized tests.
