About Bruce Hall Alternative School

Students who attend Bruce Hall are in either middle or high school, but are sent to Bruce Hall from the typical Danville and Boyle schools for underperformance and/or behavioral issues.  Many of the students at Bruce Hall have been "crippled by help," meaning they have been spoon-fed answers and not been encouraged to think for themselves.  Many students at Bruce Hall need individual attention to help them realize they have what it takes to succeed!
