"Alternative education is a perspective, not a procedure or program.
It is based upon the belief that there are many ways to become educated,
as well as many types of environments and structures within which this may
occur. Further, it recognizes that all people can be educated and that it is
in society's interest to ensure that all are educated to at least...[a] general
high school... level. To accomplish this requires that we provide a variety of
structures and environments such that each person can find one that is
sufficiently comfortable to facilitate progress." (Morley, 1991)
Alternative education began in Washington in 1935 in Spokane. Since then it has grown to
include over 335 schools and programs enrolling over 42,000 students.
The Washington Association for Learning Alternatives was incorporated in 1975 as 501(c)(3) non-profit.
As such, it is the oldest continuously operating organization for alternative education in the United States.
WALA's primary mission is to support alternative school students, parents, and communities
by providing leadership to school districts, supporting student and staff activities, providing scholarships to secondary alternative school graduates, and grants to alternative schools and programs to develop better instructional models.
