About Morton Alternative

Morton Alternative School (MAS) was established on the premise that all students can learn and succeed when provided an educational environment that meets their individual needs and interests. Because the traditional school setting is not suitable for all students, Morton Alternative School strives to create an environment that allows students to experience both academic and personal success.

Academics

Restorative Practices

MAS understands that students are continuing to grow not only academically, but socially and emotionally.  We also understand that most growth occurs during a student’s hardest moments.  Because of this, our school uses restorative practices in place of the traditional punitive measures when students are struggling in a school setting.  Through various restorative practices, our staff tries to understand the root of the problem and then works with the student, family, and other stakeholders to remediate the issue.
