The Saint Paul Area Learning Center (ALC) is a nationally recognized model for providing educational services leading to high school graduation for at-risk and underserved students. Each school year hundreds of students from Saint Paul and other districts are enrolled as full time ALC students in one of seven diploma-granting programs. In addition, hundreds more earn credits needed for graduation through extended-day ALC programs at Unidale, Evening High School, and in their own high schools, thus enabling them to graduate on time. All ALC coursework is standard driven, focusing on preparing students to pass the Minnesota Basic Standard Tests in Reading, Writing, and Math.
