he Alternative to Out-of-School Suspension Program (ALTOSS) is open to Martin County teens who have been suspended from school. ALTOSS provides a safe, supervised learning experience for the child. Our mission is to give you peace of mind while providing an opportunity for growth for the teen.

Since 1999 we have helped families and adolescent students experiencing difficulties in school to gain the stability and strength to interact positively in their daily environment.

The ALTOSS Program helps students develop the skills to cope with their individual situations.
