Striving for Success

About Us

The Sequoia Alternative Program serves students from Lenape, Shawnee, Cherokee, and Seneca who are facing difficulties ranging from academic challenges, behavioral issues, irregular attendance, and mental health concerns. Despite being a general educational program, more than fifty percent of our students have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The program's overarching goal is to establish a safe, secure, and supportive learning environment where every student can flourish and succeed academically, behaviorally, and emotionally.
