Graduations

Unlike traditional schools, graduation ceremonies at Alpine focus on a single student. Their accomplishment is celebrated with their family and many others closest to them during their journey. And every graduation ceremony ends with a very special Alpine tradition. View our video gallery to watch a selection of graduations, and hear first-hand the transformation our students have had.

Alpine Academy’s equine program is a highlight for many students’ experience. Fourteen horses find Alpine their home. They are used to help students meet therapeutic goals, find enjoyment in horseback riding, and learn horsemanship skills that focus on safety precautions when handling and caring for horses. Students learn about equipment use, stall and corral and maintenance, feeding and grooming, and overall animal management.
