Study Skills:
All students in all grade
levels will be enrolled in a study skills course which is designed
to assist them in learning about learning, time management, how to
study, how to take notes and how to be successful in
school.
AVID: For students who feel ready to
accept the challenge of a four year college or university, AVID is
another study/college preparatory option.
Concurrent enrollment:
All students who attend
Challenge Charter High School have the option of being
concurrently enrolled at Butte Community College, Yuba College or
California State University, Chico. This means that a student can
take high school courses and college courses at the same
time.
Advanced Placement Courses:
Currently we offer an Advanced Placement
English, Biology, Calculus, and we are developing Advanced
Placement Chemistry and Physics.
Reading: Currently we offer three
sections of a reading course which uses the computer software
called: Fast For Word. Students who are struggling with reading
are enrolled in this course which lasts from 4-8 weeks. Students
train and work daily on a computer to improve their reading
skills. At Challenge Charter High School we encounter many
students who are struggling with reading. Fast For Word can help
these students improve their reading skills in as little as four
weeks.
ROP courses: Through Butte County Office
of Education Regional Occupational Program, there are a variety of
courses offered throughout the county which focus on vocational
and technical skills. These courses are open to students who
attend Challenge Charter High School.
Off-Site courses: Sometimes a student may
wish to take a class that is offered by Oroville High School or
Las Plumas High School. Through an agreement established by the
Oroville Union High School District, students may enroll in
courses on either campus and earn credits for that
course.
Study Skills Support:
Because all students enrolled
in high school are required to pass the California High School
Exit Exam, we are offering a variety of support classes for
students who have not passed this exam. These support options
include specific classes and tutoring which may be during school
or after school.
