Challenge Charter High School will provide opportunities
for student growth in three challenge areas:
Educational Challenge, Personal Challenge, and Social
Challenge.
Development of these goals will aid students in becoming
complex thinkers and self-directed learners who are quality producers,
contributing to the community.
What is a charter school?
A charter school is a structural reform that redesigns the
way schools organize themselves. The rationale for charters is, by freeing
schools from bureaucratic constraints imposed by the education code, they
will be able to provide improved educational opportunities for students. A
charter school is a separate and distinct school in the district. Challenge
Charter High School was designed by a small group of teachers to meet
specific needs of students and is teacher/student/and parent driven. The intent of
Challenge Charter High School is to meet the academic, personal and social
needs of the student. We are committed to assisting all students in mastering the
courses necessary to pursue technical/vocational school, college or a
university. We currently serve a broad range of students, including those who seek
admission to a vocational/technical program, community college or a university. The educational strategy is based on independent study and small group learning.
Students, parents, and teachers are all responsible for accomplishing these
goals. Challenge Charter High School opened in the spring semester of 1998.
Diploma
Students who attend and successfully fulfill the
requirements for graduation will be granted a regular high school diploma.
Students are required to fulfill requirements in each of the three challenge areas, thereby
meeting the standard graduation requirements and complete a total of 220
credits. In addition, beginning with the Class of 2004, students must pass the California High School Exit Exam.
