If you need a high school that can adapt to you — rather than the other way around — let’s talk.
We’re Edge High School and we’ve been around since 1985, helping students with challenging schedules, different learning styles, missing credits and more. We’ll help you, too. Graduation goals are real. Do not give up on your goal!
Not only can we tackle any obstacle together — just like we have, tuition-free, for 1000 students before you. We will support you, encourage you, partner with you and adapt with you every step of the way. You have our respect, our attention and our expertise.
We love seeing our high school students meet their dreams. We make plans together and we pivot if we need to. We are your champions, your partner and your confidant. At Edge, it’s ok to not be ok. We’ll rebuild with you if you start to waver. We’ll even literally cheer you on, if it helps!
Our teachers work to know you and your needs 1:1. Our school counselor is ready to talk and support anything coming at you regarding school or anything stressful elsewhere in your world. Whatever you have going on, we can and will help. Let’s put it all on the table, dig in, and create a plan forward, together.
Graduation here you come!
This past fall we took a survey of our current students. Read on to hear how the Edge students see it.
92% of Edge High School students think:
- Students are treated with respect
- Edge offers a variety of resources to help them succeed
- Teachers fairly grade and evaluate student work
- Teachers work together to improve student learning
- Students understand the purpose and expectations of teachers
Let’s break it down. Respect first. We do treat students with respect. Things are complicated and demands are high at this time in your life. We help with that. And we are honored to do so.
When you’re an Edge student, you’ll call everyone on staff, in your classes and a part of our community by our first names. You’re consistently invited to share with us all your worries and triumphs. Nothing you feel, need, or encounter — will be yours to solve alone.
Resources to help succeed: We are staffed for this. We care. A lot. We have small classes, top notch school counseling and a wholly compassionate and cooperative staff. We offer a Student Assistance Program creating direct access for every high schooler at Edge to engage with licensed therapists — free of charge and privately. If you need a laptop, hot spot, advice on study skills or tips on how to plan for your future — we got that, too!
We offer flexible schedules, morning and afternoon sessions, tutoring, and individualized, custom academic plans. We are here for you, supporting you in the hard things you do everyday.
Fair: Our students think they’re graded fairly! Our students believe the evaluations of their schoolwork are fair. We’re thrilled to hear it — because it’s what we care so much about. Fairness, respect, communication and support. At Edge, we want you to be you. With us.
Improve student learning: Our teachers collaborate and share ideas so they improve student learning. We work together with our students’ needs top of mind. We want to better your high school experience, make your diploma-holding goals more realistic and support any and all of your environmental realities so you can cross that stage in a cap and gown.
Edge is a unique, accommodating, inviting alternative high school for special students just like you. Our lack of toxicity is important, but it’s just one of the ways we thrive together.
