It is the first fully operational charter school in Sonoma County and one of only a few in the North Bay area. Parents, teachers and students work together as a team to develop and support the school program. Students are challenged by the curriculum to grow and achieve intellectually and to develop curiousity and habits of the mind that will guide them in learning througout their lives. Students demonstrate specific outcomes through integrated and long-term projects and demonstrations as well as traditional assessments. The curriculum focuses on academic proficiency in Humanities, Math and Science, fluency in Spanish, technological literacy, and global awareness.
Teachers work in teams to develop and implement the educational program for their cluster.
Staffing of the cluster is conducted by the Lead and the Director. Lead teachers work closely with the Director of the school to monitor and improve the school. The Lead is charged with maintaining a collaborative working relationship with the two other Cluster teachers. Our goal is to develop an educational environment that prepares students to be problem solvers, cooporative workers, self-starters, information managers, flexible thinkers, effective questioners, communicators and risk takers.
