Recording the day’s activities

 “The call for education and skills training is loud and clear. Promoting ingenuity, knowledge, and skills is vital to filling the high skills, high-paying jobs of the 21st century.” - Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY), Ranking Member on the Senate Health Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, April 25, 2007

The ALASA Academy Year Round Learning Facility will follow the Sodus School District calendar and will begin with children from ages 8-9 through completion of high school credits and/or sufficient skill development to move on into society.  Curriculum offerings will focus on personal skill development, academic growth through hands-on integrated activities, satellite courses and customized skill development and evaluation.  All work will be correlated to the New  York State Education Standards.  Students will work at their own pace with benchmarks to identify growth, and evaluation to confirm skill mastery—including passing appropriate New York State Regents exams and standardized tests.  Community service will be a strong component of the curriculum, enabling students to work with adults in various Wayne County businesses/organizations, developing the skills of giving, teamwork, self-worth and pride.  The number of students enrolled is expected to be small (based on the rural nature of Wayne County), but is expected to grow over time.
