About Our School
CORE is a public independent-study charter school, supporting families who home-school their children. We personalize the educational program for each student. There is no cost to attend our school.
Families are assigned to a credentialed teacher who provides constant direction for the parent/student/teacher team. This credentialed teacher assists the parent in the selection
of curriculum from a vast array of state standards aligned texts, appropriate for each child's level in each subject area, and then guides the parent throughout the year. Parents take the role of the primary educator of their own child. It is a challenging, exciting, rewarding task.
The school also provides enrichment classes at our school sites. Elementary students generally come for a two-hour block once a week. We offer some classes designed for advanced students who are exploring ideas and events beyond the regular curriculum.
We also provide remediation-focused classes for language arts and math, which may meet once or twice a week.
High school students are offered a number of academic support classes and enrichment classes. ROP, community college concurrent enrollment, and a college model class schedule are all attractive components of our high school program. Class schedules are posted on our website.
All students are given an opportunity to go beyond the classroom, through the parents' own creativity and exploration. There is an enormous amount of freedom within the program to go to places and attend events that are interesting to the student, including field trips arranged by the school, and others simply provided by the parent.
In addition, CORE works with the parents to utilize a budget to receive instruction from approved vendors in the community. These range from karate lessons to ceramics, tutoring in specific subjects, etc. A portion of the budget is reserved for academic tutoring only.
CORE hosts orientation meetings at various sites throughout the year. Check our home page for upcoming events.
