Eagles Peak Mission
Eagles Peak Charter School is a parent choice school where the community is the classroom. Our mission is to foster the innate curiosity of our students, empower their parents and promote optimum learning by collaboratively developing a personalized learning program for each student.

Program Overview
Eagles Peak Charter School is proud to offer parents more freedom of choice in the education of your children. Eagles Peak Charter School is an independent learning charter school dedicated to enabling individualized learning models for students.

Eagles Peak is a public school operating with public educational funds. The primary goal of our charter school is to maximize learning opportunities for students, and to guarantee that our students can master the necessary skills to succeed in the workplace of today and tomorrow. Eagles Peak charter school allows for wide differences in student learning styles, abilities, and interests that are difficult to accommodate in a traditional classroom school setting.

Unlike a traditional public school, parents tailor the learning environment to the individual needs of their children. Because of our school's unique Personalized Learning system, a "one-size-fits-all" curriculum is not mandated, and parents remain the authority of any material affecting their children's attitudes, values, and beliefs. Through an individually assigned Education Specialist and extensive online information systems, we provide training for our parents in curriculum choices, learning styles, computer literacy and other areas as needed.

EPCS has several educational programs from which to choose. If enrolled in our homeschool program, we assign each student to an Education Specialist (E.S.) as soon as one is available in that student's geographical area. Our Education Specialists are credentialed teachers who oversee each student's educational progress. The E.S. works closely with parents and students to explain the various educational options available. Together, the parent and E.S. determine how best to use the allotted educational funds. These funds may be used to provide curriculum, computers, and other learning tools for use while attending our school. They may also be used to facilitate a variety of educational alternatives for each child. All provided materials are the property of the Charter School, and must be returned to the school when completed.

Although an independent study charter, we offer several programs with a site-based component to facilitate the education of our students. At the elementary level, we offer Montessori, Dual Language, and Eagles Nest programs. For Middle School, we have the Creative Arts Academy. And for high school, we offer the Renaissance High School Academy and the Career Path program. Find out more about our varied programs at www.eaglespeak.org.
