Alternative schools do some of the most important work in education — and often with the fewest resources. We bring additional capacity and college and career readiness expertise alongside your team, so every student leaves with a real plan for what comes next.

Serving your whole
school community.

From students navigating credit recovery to families who've lost trust in the system — Empowered Admissions meets your campus where it is and builds from there.

Students

Credit recovery guidance, graduation planning, career exploration, and individualized advising for students on non-traditional pathways — with a focus on building a concrete plan for what comes after graduation.

Counselors & Staff

Extended capacity and specialized expertise for teams wearing many hats across counseling, discipline, attendance, and student support — so no student falls through the cracks.

Parents & Families

Bilingual workshops that re-engage caregivers as active partners — especially families who may have lost trust in the traditional school system. We rebuild the relationship and create a shared plan forward.

Administrators

LCAP-aligned programs with measurable outcomes for WASC accreditation, Dashboard reporting, and graduation rate improvement — designed to work with the tools and systems your team already has.

Built for small teams
with big responsibilities.

From family re-engagement to post-graduation bridge planning — we bring the programming, systems, and capacity your campus needs to help every student leave with a diploma and a plan.

The Big Picture

How the education system works and what options are available after graduation — including 4-year college, community college, CTE, apprenticeships, military, and workforce entry.

Inside the Decision Room

An admissions simulation adapted for all pathways — families and students see how decisions get made and what they can do to improve outcomes, no matter the path.

Financial strategies families can use right now — FAFSA, BOG fee waivers, scholarships, apprenticeship wages, and more. Practical, accessible, and bilingual.

Find the Fit

Career alignment, CTE pathways, apprenticeships, and more. Because the right fit isn't one-size-fits-all — and every student deserves a path that works for them.
