PHILOSOPHY

While attending traditional schools, some students do not achieve their full potential. Some are not suited to the restrictions of the regular high school, its rules, or its hour-by-hour structure. Other students may have personal obligations, which conflict with the standard high school program. Venture School empowers students to take responsibility for their own education by setting their own academic goals. The educational format, with its individualized instruction and flexible scheduling, provides numerous opportunities to achieve a high school diploma.

History

Venture School originated in the fall of 1987 with 55 students, as an alternative educational program for grades 9-12 that offers self-paced, individualized and computer assisted academic instruction. The school is a drop-out prevention and recovery program designed to assist young people in achieving their high school diploma or a General Educational Development (GED). Venture School is an extension of the six AISD high schools, and diplomas are awarded through each student's home campus after successful completion of all credits and exams required for graduation.
