According to usprivateschoolsfinder, the high schools in Alaska are as varied as its landscape. Public schools, private schools, magnet schools, charter schools and alternative high school programs serve Alaska’s diverse student population. Public high schools offer a variety of educational opportunities such as Advanced Placement courses, vocational training, special education services and extracurricular activities. Private high schools provide a more specialized learning environment with an emphasis on college preparation or religious studies.
