Prescott Valley Charter School District
Who We Are:
History - Our school was established in 2002. Our Elementary, Jr. High and High School Campuses are conveniently located within a block of each other to provide easy pick up and drop off for all your children. As no transportation is provided to the school, many students ride their bikes and some families carpool together.
Learning philosophies - Our school has a particular instructional focus on accelerated learning, with very low student to teacher ratio, computer technology, college preparation and diagnostic testing. We then prescribe curriculum to fill in any gaps in their learning and to lay a strong foundation for rapid growth. This school uses curriculum with a sequence that focuses on building specific content knowledge and a rich vocabulary. This school also uses direct instruction, an instructional program with fast-paced, often pre-programmed lessons designed to maximize learning time. We have laptop and desktop computers available for our students and for use with some of our curriculum. Dual Credit is available for high school students taking college courses.
Foreign Language(s) Available: Spanish, Italian, Russian, French and German. Our programs focus on teaching fluency.
Activities - Clubs, Performing Arts Programs and Extra-Curricular Activities include: Student Council, Award Winning Youth Chamber, Drama/ Theatre, Art, Chorus, Photography, Personal Finance/Accounting, Service Learning/Volunteerism, Physical Education, Yearbook, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Mentoring Program, PAL, Home Economics, and Speech and Debate.
Sports - Sports and extra-curricular activities include: Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, Tennis, Softball, Golf, Wrestling and Archery.
General Information - Each year our High School puts on an extraordinary Prom. Our year end Graduation and Awards Ceremony is remarkable! Our seniors walk with cap and gown, our Kindergarten and Eighth grade classes are promoted in their gown. Over 30 trophies are presented to our students for outstanding character, perfect attendance, highest academic honors and many other trophies. It is a magnificent ceremony with over 500 in attendance!
