    Overview

    The DREAM Academy is the only School District U-46 high school alternative educational option which encompasses 14 programs. The purpose of the new setting is to give students an educational opportunity that maximizes their individual potential.

    We provide a small school environment featuring smaller class sizes in a structured setting with a curriculum focus on social, academic, and intervention lessons. The average class size will range between 15 to 18 students per class. Our curriculum includes blended learning integrating small group and online instruction.

    Students must be referred to the DREAM Academy from the five comprehensive high schools in the district. Selection is determined based on circumstances such as: social, emotional, and academic needs that have made it difficult for them to learn in the traditional school environment.
