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.
Pennway Alternative Day School
Pennway Alternative Day School serves Penn High School students in grades 10–12, providing an alternative learning environment connected to Penn High School’s academic program.
Students who are employed or volunteer in the community may qualify for additional academic credits.
Pennway Day Schedule:
Morning Class: 8:15 – 11:15 a.m.
Afternoon Class: 12:15 – 3:17 p.m.
*Students may enter the building 15 minutes before classes begin.
The Pennway Alternative Day School is an extension of Penn High School and students are expected to adhere to the standards outlined in the Penn High School Student Handbook.
Penn Night 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.
