BETA Alternative High School

This is a full-day high school program that provides a unique opportunity for students to earn a Regents diploma in an alternative setting. Characteristics of the program include small class sizes and the ability to individualize instruction if needed. Students are offered a full range of courses and academically related experiences, similar to those typically found in the traditional school setting. A GED preparation program is also available for students enrolled in this program. Additionally, students have the opportunity to attend the Dutchess BOCES Career and Technical Institute. Further support is available through the Astor School Based Services, which provides a variety of counseling services, including both individual and group sessions.
