Did You Know? Learning Choices in Aurora Public Schools

Alternative schools provide students with a non-traditional learning environment that meets their emotional and behavioral needs.
PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS
Charter schools are independent, tuition-free public schools with unique learning options. They operate under a contract or "charter" between the charter school board and the APS Board of Education.
EARLY LEARNING OPTIONS
Early childhood education programs allow for developmental growth in children prior to their entry into elementary school.

Online learning programs give students and families the flexibility to learn in a virtual setting.
