At Amherst Education Center, we believe in second chances, long-term growth, and the quiet power of resilience. As an alternative school serving Amherst County Public Schools, we provide students with a supportive and structured environment that helps them thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
Founded in 2008, Amherst Education Center emerged from its previous identity as Monroe Alternative School. The new facility, built by Amherst County Public Schools, represents a renewed commitment to student success and a strong foundation for personalized learning.
