FAQs

Do you charge a tuition?
As a California public high school, tuition is always free.

Are you an accredited program?
In 2008 we were accredited by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) for six years.

Aren't you just helping families who "home-school"?
We have many similar benefits of home schooling, and other necessary and helpful elements that make our program best referred to as a "personalized learning" program. It is true that much of the student's work is done independently, but we also support them with on-cite classes, assessment, and academic counseling. The independent portion is guided with frequent meetings, specialized curriculum, and significant assessment.

What happens if a student is not successful in this type of program?
According to Charter Law, we are obligated to set standards for success and academic growth which students must meet in order to continue with us. We work with students to give them every chance to continue, but if a student cannot achieve in this setting we refer them back to the comprehensive campus.
