General Info
Mission
The objective of Loring Nicollet Alternative School is to empower high school students to become more aware of who they are and what they need to reach their goals. The most successful environment for students is one that is safe and one that validates their experiences. The foundation of this environment at Loring Nicollet consists of: respect for individuality, a multi-cultural and gender fair curriculum, an informal atmosphere, participatory democracy, open communication, trust, honesty, values clarification, spiritual growth, self-discipline, the balance between group and individual responsibility, and decision making.
The courses at Loring Nicollet prepare students for post-secondary education by emphasizing the basic skills of reading, writing, speaking articulately, math, and creative problem solving.
Loring Nicollet Alternative School is a program located at the Loring Nicollet Community Center, part of PPL, a nonprofit multi-service agency serving people with diverse needs.
