Academic Adventures Begin
Not just a “field trip,” the Academic Adventures program takes learning outside home classrooms and opens the door to unique and engaging experiences that combine curricular content, life skills, the arts, and socialization to students.
We love Central Valley Charter Schools! Our children have grown so much ever since starting school here. Our teacher has been very helpful and knowledgeable about high school requirements, many different ideas for curriculum, and great resources for college classes, dual enrollment and high school enrichment. Enrolling in this school has been one of the best decisions we've ever made.
I am so thankful to be a part of a school that supports me so well as my child’s Learning Coach. My concerns and feedback are respected and I feel equipped with the best resources so that I can best guide my daughter in her educational journey.
