Apparently even newly hatched babies have heard how cool HPAP is! This little fella was found trying to make his way into the school. Yesterday, we helped him find his way to the nearby water.

If you haven't heard, we are still accepting both onsite and online students! Reach out to Dr. Kludt to find out how we can help your high schooler! 695-489-2411, or [email protected]

We have new signage! Hopefully this will make us easier to find!

Our school year is underway, but there's still time to enroll your high schooler if they need a different approach! Reach out to Dr. Kludt to start the process! 605-489-2411 or [email protected]

Homeschool seems to be a buzz word these days, but where do you even start? What if your high schooler could do school from home with the support of highly qualified teachers, weekly check ins, self paced learning (you DO have to have a pace😉), schedule flexibility, caring and supportive staff, and a team approach, all at no cost. Would this interest you?

Our students come from all walks of life; all with a different story. No matter your story or your journey, our goal is to help you gain one of the most useful titles in your life..... High 👩‍🎓 school 🧑‍🎓 graduate! 🎓📚📜

The new school year will be here before we know it! Let's see if "school from home" could be the ticket to your high schooler's success! Let me repeat... NO COST! Absolutely NO obligation. Just information and options.☺️

Feel free to message the page for questions, or reach out to Dr. Kludt at (605)489-2411 or [email protected] for information on registration.

"Success is not measured by how quickly someone learns or by following a traditional path. Success is found in resilience, in refusing to give up, and in believing in yourself even when the road is difficult."
