The alternative programs at the Rosedale Center serve students in grades 6-12, from the Northeast and Central areas of Baltimore County. These are students who have not found success in a regular setting, for a variety of reasons, and need to improve social behaviors in order to return to a regular comprehensive program. The Center offers academic, vocational, and social/emotional experiences designed to help youths acquire the attitude, skills, and behaviors necessary to succeed.

• The academic program follows the Baltimore County Public Schools Essential Curriculum, and is individualized to meet each student's need and program.
• The therapeutic program provides counseling, crisis intervention, assessments, family support, and community referrals.
• A character education program encourages good decision making skills and positive values.
• A behavior modification program leads the student through a series of levels, and ultimately, to the successful return to their home School.
  
• An experiential education program offers students the opportunity to experience real-life encounters.
