Welcome to the Virtual and Alternative School at Roi S. Wood!
We provide four alternative educational pathways for Joplin students utilizing a self-paced, computer-based approach to instruction coupled with work experience to allow students the opportunity to gain from traditional academic offerings, as well as receive real world know-how.
Our personalized learning and a caring staff help students get back on track through JAG, Flex, MO Options, or online courses. Our goal is to equip students with the skills and knowledge they will need to leave our schools and go on to a rewarding career, college, career tech or military pathway.
