William Finch Charter School is the Glenn County Home Independent Study program, offering an alternative education option for K-12 students. It has recently been designated as one of 460 charter schools in California and the first in Glenn County.
A charter school is a non-traditional form of public school designed to spur innovation in teaching and learning. Charter schools are freed from most of the restrictive laws that govern traditional public schools, so administrators, faculty, staff and parents have considerable autonomy in designing an educational program, facilities and budget that meet the needs of their students. In return for this freedom, charter schools are held more accountable for student success. Funded like other public schools, they operate under five-year charter contracts, which may be renewed if the school meets its performance goals.
William Finch School was established to support the principle that all students should have an equal opportunity to participate in the California public school curriculum, which prepares individuals for academic, social, personal, and job-related success.
The school offers a quality curriculum focusing on individual needs and styles. On-going evaluation of individual student progress, field trips, student and parent workshops, and monthly bulletins enhance the program. | |
