The Charter School is committed to providing an innovative, effective, and personalized learning program that honors parental choice. The Charter School will support students through a wealth of educational resources in an effort to educate the whole child.
Our mission is to educate the whole child using a combination of innovative curriculum and instruction that also addresses the students social, emotional and physical needs and cultivates a lifelong love of learning. Students will be encouraged to reach their innate intellectual, creative, and leadership potential through a commitment to nourish curiosity, respect, compassion, independence, and resourcefulness.
Our vision is to create a K-12 learning community in which all students, parents and teachers partner to support the cognitive, emotional and social success of our students. The Charter School, in collaboration with parents, mentors, students, and the school's leadership team, will cultivate lifelong learners by recognizing students' and parents' needs for educational options. The Charter School will balance flexibility with accountability and commitment to academic excellence for families seeking a non-classroom based personalized educational experience. The Charter School understands the need for partnership in order for students to attain their individual educational goals.
The Charter School will seek to provide opportunities for teachers, parents, students, and community members to improve student's learning; encourage the use of experience based and innovative teaching methods; and provide parents and students with expanded choices in the types of educational opportunities available within the public school system.

The Charter School is based on the belief that each student should be supported with the appropriate resources to realize his/her full potential. Our stakeholders will work from the understanding that:
- All students have different learning styles, abilities, and background experiences. As important as "what" a student learns is "how" a student learns.
- Parents, supported by educators with effective curriculum, are capable of providing an excellent education to their children.
- Developing an educational plan tailored to meet a student's learning style, abilities, strengths, and areas of need allows them to flourish.
- Students need to become self-motivated, organized, competent, lifelong learners, able to use different sources of information and complete tasks.
- Meaningful teacher, parent, & student relationships are a motivating factor toward success.
- Opportunities for distance learning and online education are encouraged and supported to move students into technological literacy.
- Strong core competency skills are critical to successful lifelong learning.
- Beyond core courses, providing a variety of elective course options allows students to find their individual path, passions, and life goals.
We believe that learning best occurs when:
- Teachers will partner with parents and students to support, monitor, and encourage growth. Learning styles will be actively used to design instruction.
- Students will be offered exciting, innovative, comprehensive, and challenging curriculum options. They will be provided options at the community college level and internships.
- There will be high expectations for all students, with a focus on measurable outcomes. Formative and summative assessment tools will be used to accurately assess student skill levels ensuring that curriculum and methodologies are appropriate for each student.
- Experiential learning will be included in a student's education plan and enrichment opportunities are offered.
- Tutoring and small group instruction will be offered to provide support to independent learning.
- Student, parent, teacher communication, collaboration and involvement will be supportive, productive and frequent.
