Hello! Sorry if this isn’t the right place (I originally posted this on the private school forum, but someone told me to come here.) I’m new here. I’m not a parent, but I’ve had a hard time finding answers online, so I thought I’d ask people who might have HS age kids.

I’m currently a junior in high school (FCPS), and I’ve been struggling with the traditional public school environment because of ongoing, severe anxiety and mental health challenges (I won’t go into too much detail). I did well academically last year, but it was really difficult for me, and I think I might do better in non-traditional / alternative school.

My biggest worry is ending up somewhere that isn’t challenging enough. My freshman year, I attended a temporary alternative program where my classes were very dumbed down, and I didn’t enjoy it. At my current school, I take AP and honors classes and do very well when I’m able to attend consistently.

I’m hoping to get some recommendations for alternative schools or programs that might be a better fit. Thank you.[/quote]

Our daughter is at Fusion Academy in Tysons.  It has been wonderful for her.  They classes can be accelerated to meet your abilities, or you can take all AP classes. [/quote]
