reformed sixth form
It's probably best to explain what it means and that depends whether you're translating for a British or American audience.
... reformed sixth form where pupils are no longer part of a fixed class setup but choose their subjects from a range of predefined combinations.
Differenzierte Oberstufe:
Die Schülerinnen und Schüler werden nicht mehr im Klassenverband unterrichtet. Sie wählen im Rahmen bestimmter Vorgaben aus einem reichen Angebot an Fächern Leistungs- und Grundkurse aus.

[Alternative] Senior High School [Program(s)]
Possible solutions will vary according to your target audience.
In North America, I'd suggest something like : Alternative Senior High School Program OR Differentiated Senior High School programs*
*Some US States offer "differentiated programs" and award "differentiated diplomas".
