About
Since 1998, Sierra Charter School has offered students an alternative to traditional public school. We serve students throughout the Central Valley - no referral needed to enroll.
​
Through independent study and classroom instruction, students have fun doing hands-on activities and labs, and getting to know their teachers and peers in a safe, caring learning environment.
​
We are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges with a focus to enhance each student’s unique skills, passions, and talents through a personalized program that supports their learning needs.
​
