MAEO Mission Statement
The purpose of the Michigan Alternative Education Organization is to advocate for exemplary practices in alternative education, to provide a network of support for alternative educators and students and to promote awareness of alternative education at the local and state levels.
MAEO believes in equity-focused education where all students have access to the same resources and educational rigor and support diversity in gender, age, sex, race, class, religion, ethnicity, ability, language, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
*This corresponds with the National Alternative Education Association's position on Anti-Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion.
