Why students choose Delta Charter High School

It is the ultimate goal of Delta Charter High School to offer a personalized approach to education where all of our students feel empowered about their own personal educational journey.  We realize that students have different requirements to be successful in their educational pursuits so we have designed a program for students who seek an alternative to the traditional approach to education.    We offer a creative and technologically advanced program that encourages students to do their personal best.  We encourage each of our students to

• see learning as a seamless array of highly varied and superbly orchestrated learning choices;
• gain necessary basic skills and knowledge as well as rich subject matter understanding;
• experience and consider learning as a natural, never-ending aspect of life; and
• be prepared for success and excellence in either academic or career pursuits.

From the beginning, DCHS hoped to become a model alternative program that other school systems and communities could adopt for their youth. We took a look at the reasons students were not being successful in their traditional programs and evolved into a program that would meet the student’s individual needs as well as stay in the parameters of the State Of California academic requirements.  DCHS created a Personalized Learning Program as an alternative for families concerned about their student’s educational success and well-being. As a result, students choose DCHS’s Personalized Learning environment because:

• The students’ skills and achievements are more advanced than that of peers or the level of instruction offered in the traditional site-based program. 
• The student has significant difficulty achieving potential in the traditional site-based program and subsequently is “falling behind.”
• The parent wants more involvement with the student.
• The student is unable to perform in a traditional classroom.
• The student has special needs that are not addressed in a traditional site-based program.
