Aleutian Region School District

ARSD's educational program has qualities which are rather unique and progressive. Aligned with state and national standards, ARSD uses a mastery learning model. Students progress according to their individual abilities and interests. Student placement is along a learning continuum, and, it is a function of content mastery, not seat time; grade levels have functionally been abandoned. Students are involved in selecting which activities will be used to document proficiency and which of these demonstrations will be digitized and kept as an artifactual record of their mastery.
