In education, the phrase alternative high school, sometimes referred to as a minischool, or remedial school, is any secondary school having a special curriculum offering a more flexible program of study than a traditional school. Many such schools were founded in the 1970's as an alternative to traditional classroom structure. A wide range of philosophies and teaching methods are offered by alternative high schools; some have strong political, scholarly, or philosophical orientations, while others are more ad-hoc assemblies of teachers and students dissatisfied with some aspect of traditional education.
