Fridley Area Learning Center

The Area Learning Center (ALC) helps students achieve their individual learning goals and receive their high school diploma.

The ALC program features: small classes, individual learning plans, flexible schedules, independent study, credit for on-the-job training, and a Teen Parent* program on-site. The ALC accepts students in 9th grade to age 21 years. The program is open to Fridley residents as welll as students from other schools and communities.

Students may complete all of their coursework through the ALC or may be dual-enrolled, taking classes at a traditional high school and attending the ALC to make up credits for classes they have yet to complete. Special Education teachers provide additional support to students with special needs.

Students who satisfactorily complete all course work receive a diploma from Fridley High School, or their District of residence.

* The Fridley Infant Teen Toddler program (FITT) offers childcare, parenting classes, and support to teen parents pursuing their education.
