Our Vision

Harvest Ridge Cooperative Charter School is committed to nurturing the whole student by cultivating high academic achievement and strong social development.   Students are encouraged to discover and pursue their interests and talents within a compassionate and supportive environment.  Our students become self-motivated and confident as they develop 21st Century skills.

Programs

Our rigorous, standards-based academic curriculum meets student needs with personalized learning and differentiated curriculum.  Our school promotes original and creative outcomes, effective sequencing of tasks and time management, increased ability to collaborate, and student involvement in decision-making.

Classroom Hybrid

As a California public charter, Harvest Ridge Cooperative Charter School provides a variety of unique and personalized services to its students by combining the structure of classroom instruction with the flexibility afforded independent study programs, all within a framework of high academic standards, in a small and supportive school environment. We offer an Independent Study hybrid model offering core instruction through experiential learning, technology and virtual instruction, combined with an innovative enrichment program. 
​
In order to be compliant with our state approved charter, Harvest Ridge’s program is set up to provide classroom-based instruction to students Monday through Thursday of the school week.  Independent Study is assigned to students every Friday, as well as some additional days throughout the school year.  This work is to be completed in the home, not on the school campus.  Instructional minutes for Fridays are included in the total required instructional minutes by the state.  Teachers are required to assign a full day of assignments for students to complete at home in order to be in compliance with our charter.
