==Extra-curricular activities==

While there are no organized competitive athletic programs,<ref name="Bodfield"/> students have access to all of the facilities and are able to engage in whatever sports they wish, most notably ultimate frisbee and soccer. Accelerated Learning has two large fields for recreational purposes, a basketball court, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Students are also allotted time at the end of the school day for physical activities. Students are also able to participate in clubs such as: Debate club, Chess club, Photography club, and Yearbook club which can all be used for college credit. The school also participates actively in an event called Science Olympiad<ref>https://www.soinc.org/</ref><ref>https://scioly.org/</ref> in which students practice and prepare to compete yearly and often place highly in both its high school and middle school divisions.

==Fieldwork==

At the end of each school year, faculty and administration at A.L.L. plans a large trip for any student that wishes to go. This trip often involves leaving the state and spending 5-7 days exploring culture, geography, man-made and natural structures, history and other interesting subjects. Due to the scale of this trip it replaces smaller day trips that most schools may have throughout the school year. These trips are a learning experience but also very culturally enriching and are intended to be fun and have long-lasting effects on students of all ages. The past trips have been to China, Washington D.C., Yellowstone, The Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Meteor Crater/Sunset Crater, San Diego and the planned trip to San Francisco in 2018.
