SAVE High School

SAVE (Specialized Academic Vocational Education) is an alternative high school within the Anchorage School District that specializes in working with juniors and seniors who are significantly behind in credit. Our highly qualified teachers provide academic curriculum including math, science, English, social studies, and physical education. Academics are combined with vocational experience training, service learning, and community involvement. Students attend SAVE for three periods, either in the morning or in the afternoon, after which they attend King Tech or work at a local business. SAVE High School specializes in “meeting the student where he or she is.” Coursework is tailored to individual student needs, and student performance goals are set to meet the expectation of earning a diploma and graduating from high school.

Philosophy The SAVE philosophy is to enhance student learning and success through individualized academic programs and vocational training. We believe that each student has the potential to earn a high school diploma and be a productive member of our community.
