Independent Studies is an alternative schooling option for students who want/ need something different than the traditional school setting. 

• Independent study is available to pupils from transitional kindergarten through high school and is designed to respond to the pupil’s unique educational needs, interests, aptitudes, and abilities within the confines of legal authority and school board policy. Pupils who participate in independent study have the same course requirements as pupils in regular classes- Dept of Education

• This alternative instructional strategy offers flexibility to meet individual pupil needs, interests, and styles of learning. Independent study is not an alternative curriculum and independent study pupils are expected to meet the same educational objectives as all other pupils- Dept of Education
