HistoryFounded in 1990 by reading specialist Doris J. Bower, Dartmoor began as a reading intervention mechanism. The success enjoyed teaching reading fundamentals to struggling students soon led to demands for more subjects and gradually supplemental services expanded to cover the general gamut of academic subjects. As more and more students sought remediation, requests for credit courses and graduation readily increased, prompting Dartmoor's accreditation and, ultimately, its transformation from a learning center into an alternative school in the early 1990s.SpecialtiesPersonalized one-to-one education programs for students in grades 1-12 Programs for students with unique learning profiles and circumstances Options for dual enrollment, credit, graduation, and academic support Year-round, open enrollment Flexible scheduling available
