About Us

Would you like to continue with Independent Studies?  Are you interested in Homeschooling your children? Do you love the flexibility and dynamics of both?  Then we are the school of choice for you.  We are a TK-8 charter school under the El Centro Elementary School District, however, all students in the Imperial Valley are able to enroll regardless of your home school district.

We offer a unique partnership between parents, students, and certificated teachers.  It’s a recipe for success in that we develop the three main ingredients in ensuring that your child is meeting or exceeding grade level standards and targets.  Our secret…Trust, Teamwork, and Triumph! 

Students are invited to attend our in-person classroom workshops 2x per week with our certificated teachers to complete work that is assigned on the Weekly Lesson Plans as well as having the opportunity to work with their peers in class.  Students will be able to interact with other children in their grade level while reaping the benefits of individualized classroom instruction by a certificated teacher.  And remember, all students are invited every Friday for our FAB FRIDAYS that promote and teach fine arts and STEAM activities. 

Here are some other benefits that our program has to offer:

• We provide curriculum and weekly lesson plans for Language Arts, Writing, Math, Social Studies, Science
• We provide Student Chromebook for use of curriculum and other educational apps using Clever. 
• STEAM Hands-on Activities in our In-person Workshops.
• Weekly In-person Workshops Monday-Friday delivered by Certificated Staff with emphasis on teaching phonemic awareness, phonics, close reading, math using models and manipulatives.
• We train parents on how to teach the writing process for Informational, Opinion/Argumentative, and Narrative essays. Grades K-8th.  
• We integrate technology into our lessons (Google Slides, Google Docs, Screencastify, Nearpod, Peardeck, Quizziz, Kahoot, Blooket)
• Our Fabulous Fridays offer lessons in the fine arts such as painting, drawing, Reader’s Theatre, and hands-on science activities to develop a love for math and science.
• Extracurricular Drill and Tall Flags team
• Quarterly Family Field Trips in and outside of county. 
• We offer parent trainings on how to teach foundational reading skills such as phonics, phonemic awareness, math, and writing skills.
• Each teacher meets with parents every 30 days to discuss work submitted and offering support/resources that may be helpful. 

Our small class sizes are also a draw and benefit in our program.  We have instructional assistants in our primary and upper grades to assist with small group instruction.  And that is not all, we support our students to work above their grade levels when the student has completed their grade level curriculum and they perform above grade level on the benchmark assessments. 

Together, as a team, we can move mountains.
