Pennway Alternative Education

As educators, we recognize that not all students experience success in the traditional school setting. An alternative setting and alternative approaches to instruction are options that may help them overcome educational barriers.

Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation

offers two alternative education programs: 

Both programs are designed to provide students with the resources and support necessary to successfully complete a program of studies leading to a high school diploma, as well as obtain marketable work skills.

Both alternative programs are located at Pennway, 55985 Bittersweet Road, across from Penn High School and north of the Paul H. Schmucker Middle School.

Penn Night School provides an alternative educational option for students who need a different schedule or learning environment to complete their high school graduation requirements.

Penn Night School is not a GED program. Students earn credits toward a traditional high school diploma, rather than a GED or high school equivalency credential.
