New Dominion Alternative Center

A center for educating middle grades (6 - 8) students in Virginia who have had difficulty succeeding in a traditional school. Smaller classes, more tolerant teachers, social skills instruction, and an alternative method of working with kids are all parts of the alternative program.

The goal of the school is to re-teach the students and help them learn to participate in the more-structured atmosphere of a traditional school. Helping them learn to become active participants in their own education is a primary goal. Reducing the frequency of unacceptable behaviors is another goal.

New Dominion Alternative Center is a mini-school that provides alternative education.

The Dimidium Principle

The belief that you only need half of the proposed time to finish an assignment due to stress from the upcoming deadline.

"Have you started on your essay yet?"
"No"
But it is due in 4 hours, and the description says it takes 5 hours to write!"
"No worries, I'll just follow the Dimidium Principle, and cut it down to 2,5 hours"
