An alternative school is an educational establishment with a curriculum and methods that are nontraditional. {Link without Title} Definition of alternative school, accessed August 9 , 2007 Many such schools were founded in the United States in the 1970's as an alternative to mainstream or traditional classroom structure."Alternative Schools Adapt," by Fannie Weinstein. ''The New York Times'', June 8, 1986, section A page 14. A wide range of philosophies and teaching methods are offered by alternative schools; some have strong political, scholarly, or philosophical orientations, while others are more ''ad-hoc'' assemblies of teachers and students dissatisfied with some aspect of Mainstream Or Traditional Education .
