ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

When school stops working, what comes next?

If your teen is struggling with school, feeling overwhelmed, losing confidence or simply needs a different way to learn, you don't have to work out the next step alone.

WHEN SCHOOL STOPS WORKING

Sometimes, the approach needs to change

  • School refusal

  • Burnout

  • Anxiety

  • Lost confidence

  • Struggling to keep up

When traditional education isn't working for your teen, finding another way forward can feel overwhelming.

At ALH, we start by understanding the young person in front of us. Then we work with them to find an approach that feels possible, supportive and purposeful.

WHO WE SUPPORT

Different young people.

Different reasons for needing a

different way forward.

ALH supports secondary-age young people who may not be thriving in traditional education, including neurodivergent learners, young people experiencing school refusal, and those who need a more flexible route towards their education and qualifications.

1. School isn't working

  • Traditional education may no longer feel like the right environment for your teen to engage, learn or feel confident.

2. School

Refusal

  • Your teen may be struggling to attend or engage with school and needs another way to keep learning.

3. Neurodivergent Learners

  • Your teen may need an educational approach that better reflects how they learn and what helps them engage.

4. A Different

Route

  • Your teen may need flexible support while working towards their learning goals or IGCSEs at their own pace.

Whatever brings you here, you don't have to figure out the next step alone.

WHY ALH

Education built around the young person, not the system.

★★★★★

“The Alternative Learning Hub has been our saving grace this year. I didn't think he would ever be able to learn again, let alone take GCSE/IGCSE. He has worked so hard and been supported so much by Chetana and the team that he's even recognising himself how far he's come.”

Kerry Parent
★★★★★

“A wonderful, supportive, intuitive tutor. She can tailor her approach to suit any additional needs and is encouraging and adaptable. Chetana guided my son from an unhappy and reluctant English student to a grade 9 student in only a few months.”

Pendella Parent
★★★★★

“My daughter loved how Chetana was able to understand her and adapt the way she taught the small group classes, and helped her understand the way she learnt. We studied Environmental Management, English, Business Studies and Travel and Tourism.”

Marina Parent
★★★★★

“He really has blossomed in your care. He has learned loads and is talking about joining a public speaking group, which he'd never have considered before, having had no confidence in his writing skills.”

Alexis Parent
★★★★★

“Thank you for all your incredible, kind, insightful, skilled and supportive help. You offer something unique and invaluable for neurodivergent kids.”

Helen Parent
★★★★★

“What you have achieved and done for our son on his educational roller coaster has been phenomenal. He continues his IGCSE studies and prepares for further education. A thing we never once thought would be possible!”
