AALC currently houses five early primary (K-1) classrooms, three primary (2-3) classrooms, three intermediate (4-5) classrooms, and three middle school (6-8) classrooms.

AALC is working on Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) for every student by team team made up of teacher, student and parent.The ILP includes academic, social, behavioral, and/or enrichment goals to be pursued for the whole school year.

The Michigan State Standards and Benchmarks and Grade Level Content Expectation provide the basis for their curriculum. Thematic units, outdoor education, environmental education and the performing and visual arts are used to deliver the curriculum.

“All of our teachers are state certified and meet the “Highly Qualified” designation,” as can be seen on their website.
