Classical Education
Awarded WASC candidacy, Jul 2009
The School of Choice has received candidacy for accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
WASC is a non-profit organization that evaluates the work of educational institutions to the benefit of students, parents
and the educational process.
“WASC values accreditation as a process designed to strengthen schools in the delivery of quality educational programs.
Accreditation is important to schools as it impacts students’ access to colleges and universities and career opportunities
in a variety of ways. An effective WASC self-study review is a powerful tool for schools to improve the quality of education
and more effectively serve staff and students.” ... from WASC website.
The School of Choice
The School of Choice is a private, interfaith, Independent Study Academy for students in grades six through twelve. In the daytime,
afterschool or in summer school, we offer individually-tailored curricula for high level tutoring and classes designed to meet college standards.
We welcome English learners with I-20's. Our credits,
AP scores and High School Diplomas readily transfer to colleges and universities,
including the UC/CSU system, so students can qualify to enter the college of their choice.
• Independent Study and Academic Classes by Day
At The School of Choice, we believe gifted, challenged, unusually motivated or independent-minded students should learn about and follow their own "inner agenda" in order to achieve their fullest potential — naturally with the help of expert teachers armed with great books and ideas. Students fall through the cracks because they are too fast, too slow, or just not interested in state mandated curricula or teaching methods. We create “project “ oriented” curricula that meets or exceeds state and UC/CSU standards tailored uniquely for every student. Working parents know we monitor the behavior and studies of students inside classes and tutorials. Homeschooling parents appreciate that students in good standing may leave school to complete work at their own pace or engage in other life challenges.
• Independent Study and Academic Classes After-school.
Naturally, many students in regular private or public schools prefer to take classes or advanced tutoring geared to their needs and interests. They can make up grades after-school or in summer school or raise GPA’s with high level tutorials and AP classes. We have successfully guided students afterschool through AP classes, advanced writing instruction, tutoring and test preparation (especially the SSAT , PSAT and SAT) for the past ten years. Morning, noon and night, we listen to what parents and students want most from education; then, with creativity and expertise, we give students the education they most need.
We are authorized to issue I-20's to qualified students, grades 6-12.
I-20 Visas permit foreign students to study in America legally.
