The Alternative Achievement Program (AAP) provides services to students receiving special education whose behavioral and emotional health needs require a higher level of education unavailable on our comprehensive school district sites. AAP provides students with an alternative learning environment that has embedded mental health services to promote a therapeutic environment necessary to meet students' individualized educational needs. 

Supporting students in grades 1–12, the Alternative Achievement Program serves Tulare County students receiving special education services whose primary area of need is social-emotional and mental health support. Referrals to the program are initiated by the student’s school district/special services department.

The overarching goal is to provide intensive individualized instruction within a student's community. Through extensive therapy and behavioral supports, students obtain the necessary skills to return successfully to a comprehensive education setting.
