Welcome to Farm School ALE!
We enjoy 6.5 miles of riding trails, 5 acres of athletic fields and an expansive lot including a 6,500 sq ft horse turn-out alongside our modest 4,000 sq ft school building.
We are a tuition-free, district-funded, Alternative Learning Experience (ALE) program via the Republic School District. We bring a farm experience to our students by incorporating animals such as horses, goats, quail, chickens, guinea pigs, and other class pets.

Mission & History:
Our mission is to drive a new era of education where parents have influence and each student is challenged in a holistic manner to create a fully competent, capable, and creative member of society. Our motto is "joy in learning"!
Our hosting school, All-Star Academy, was founded by Brandy Simison, a Certified Children's Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP).
Brandy Simison, grew up in a small town and experienced the benefits of small classroom sizes and a tight-knit community.
After training as a CPRP, she saw that public and private school classrooms typically hosted 16-25 kids to a single teacher. She witnessed children with emotional or behavioral challenges and/or exceptionalities not getting the support or attention they needed. This disheartening experience of traditional, large classes lead her to found All-Star Academy.
All-Star Academy is a non-traditional environment with a 1:8 teacher to student ratio. The classroom is designed to promote a child’s holistic development with animal husbandry, individual attention, and customized learning plans.
