The mission of Crescent View West Charter
High School (CVWCHS) is to engage students who are
no longer a part of the instructional plan offered
by the traditional high school. CVWCHS will develop
individualized "Personalized
Learning" study lesson plans which will enable
the student to be a successful part of the educational
community and to move toward graduation.
• Master basic skills
• Move toward mastery of technology
• Develop interest in life-long learning
• Become a responsible, contributing
member of society
Our Schools Have the feel of a friendly
business office. Students will have their own appointment
every week with their teacher. At this time lessons
will be explained and assigned. There will be time
for questions and discussion.
Students take their assignments
home and return for their next appointment, ready to
be evaluated on the work they have done during the
past week. Upon satisfactory completion, credit is
granted immediately.
Our Classes Consist of core curriculum
and electives. Students have their transcripts evaluated
and take assessment tests to determine the appropriate
level of instruction.
The order in which the instruction
is offered is purposely done to maximize learning.
Computers are available for instruction
and to assist students with other classes. It is possible
for individualized electives to be a part of each student's
educational plan. Some group classes are offered as
the need and interest for them develop.
Our Teachers
Have the same credentials as other public school teachers.
They enjoy the small classes, usually 1 to 3 students
at a time. They specialize in providing encouragement
and individualized instruction.
Our Students Enroll
at Crescent View West for a great variety of reasons.
Most had left (traditional public) school before graduation
and now again enjoy and appreciate having a new opportunity
to move toward that goal. Others have found the personalized
instruction and flexible time requirement suit their
needs better than a traditional school.
Our student's
ages range from 13 to 22. Some students come to us
to make up classes and then return to traditional campuses.
Others only need a few classes to graduate. It is Crescent
View West's ability to accommodate each individual's
need that attracts many to our school's Personalized
Learning model.
Very ambitious students may take more
than one class at a time with their teacher's permission.
