read moreStudents attend Ombudsman for a variety of reasons: the convenience of attending morning or afternoon sessions, the opportunity to catch up on credits or to graduate early, or to feel more comfortable than they felt in traditional school. Some need a fresh start and Ombudsman provides that. Students say Ombudsman "feels like home." They find it easier to focus in a learning community where there's no drama or distraction - and where there's plenty of motivation.

Some students have personal, social, learning, family and environmental challenges that make it harder for them to be successful in a traditional classroom setting. Some have dropped out and want to return to earn a high school diploma. Students work in a welcoming, safe and technology-rich setting and receive one-on-one attention from caring teachers. Students develop strong relationships with Ombudsman teachers, which is vital to helping them achieve high levels of academic, social and behavioral growth.
