Welcome to Alternas

We help parents navigate nontraditional education options to find the right fit for their children’s needs.

We empower parents to take control of their children’s K-12 education.

Parents Choose.
Start Here.

Parent Empowerment

Our mission is to give parents the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about education and funding options for their children’s education.

Personalized Learning

We believe that every child deserves to learn when, where, and how they learn best, and that parents need more support to make the best choices for their children.

Not Every Child Thrives in a Traditional Schooling Environment

At Alternas, we know that traditional education models may not meet the needs of all learners. In fact, over half of the 63 million parents in the US with children K-12 ages say they have considered or are considering enrolling their child in a new school. 

We understand that nontraditional education options can be overwhelming, which is why we are here to help. We help parents discover options like microschooling, learning pods, and homeschooling co-ops that best meet their child’s needs. We also support parents with information on how to fund nontraditional education choices in their states.
