Welcome and Mission Statement:
On behalf of the Education Department at AAYRTC, welcome to the Chief Gall Alternative Education Program (CGAEP) homepage. We provide educational services to all residents in treatment, with the goal of assisting the residents in earning credit in their middle school and high school classes. With the guidance of CGAEP, residents not only graduate from their treatment program, but they may earn a GED, complete a grade level, or recover lost credits. We encourage residents to participate in collaboration with their home school and CGAEP in order to maintain consistency and continuity, so that residents may have a more successful transition back to the home and school environment after graduation from treatment.
The Chief Gall Alternative Education Program is dedicated to facilitating the development and maintenance of education and learning as an integral part of a healthy lifestyle for American Indian Youth.
History:
- CGAEP has been a South Dakota Department of Education "Approved Alternative Education Program" since 1998.
- CGAEP offers Special Education Services, GED preparation, home school collaboration, and "traditional" classroom instruction.
- Residents receive educational services that are developed by the Education Specialist on an individual basis, and are developed in consultation with home school academic records and guardian input.
