How do you define "alternative?" There are two parochial schools for eighth grade and lower. The high school has an alternative program but you don't go sailing in and announce you want to go there. There are criteria.

Miles City CCDHS offers alternative schooling. If you go in and request a space, they have both morning and afternoon classes. They usually try to take older kids first to try and help them graduate. The only other option is GED through Miles Community College. I would check with CCDHS though

Another feasible alternative is home education. You didn't specify a grade level, but there are many options for educating your child at home; Montana is considered a least-restrictive state for home education law.

RB,

There is a group of us that meet once a month during the traditional school year with the kids, and then a Mom's Night that has recently started on the 2nd Monday of the month; the mom's group meets at Grace Bible Church . Email me for times and more info.
