Charter schools operate free of the 7000 page State Education Code, giving them much independence with regard to staffing, curriculum design, and budget, while remaining a public school. An open enrollment policy maintains a diversified balance among the students of Children's Community Charter School. Children's Community Charter School is open to all students regardless of their academic record. Entrance is based on the desire and commitment to the educational process from both students and parents. Charter schools were founded to gain autonomy in pursuing an educational vision.
Charter schools are also very diverse in philosophy and practices.
Parents need to embrace the existing philosophies and practices that guide CCCS in order for their child to be successful. Often, charter schools, including CCCS, have been very successful, however our methods may not be consistent with an individual parent's goals. Parents who consider enrolling their children in CCCS need to closely examine and evaluate our program to determine if this is the school for their child. Parents who choose to enroll their child at CCCS need to recognize the programs and services at CCCS may be different from that of a traditional school site. Therefore, adjustments or replacement options may be made in lieu of traditional approaches and services.
