The Public Schools of Robeson County has implemented programs for students to thrive in non-traditional school settings through the Learning Acceleration Program and Robeson Alternative School.

The programs come as school districts across the country are trying new approaches to keep students in school and increase graduation rates. While many students flourish in the traditional school setting, the setting is not for all students.

To address this issue, PSRC has created the Learning Acceleration Program (LAP) and Robeson Alternative School (RAS) program for students in need of a non-traditional educational setting. LAP and RAS provide an additional learning pathway to address the learning gaps, self-esteem issues, and individualized goals of those who do not thrive in traditional classroom settings.

In addition, to support the curriculum needs of LAP and RAS students, the Public Schools of Robeson County has implemented Apex Learning Courses. Apex Learning Courses is an online digital program that is standards-aligned, rigorous, interactive, and highly engaging. 

LAP serves students in grades 9-12 and RAS serves students in grades 6-12.

Apex Learning Courses contains digital courses that are standards-aligned, rigorous, and highly engaging for students. Among courses offered are English, Math, Social Studies, Sciences, and Electives.

PSRC also has appointed two Apex Learning coaches/facilitators to assist with the implementation of Apex Learning in the LAP/RAS program.
