It is Crescent View’s goal to provide:

• A safe and affirming learning environment

• Highly qualified teachers

• State standards of education

Crescent View Charter High School continually seeks to find highly qualified teachers. All of our teachers hold credentials from the California Department of Education.

CVCHS curriculum meets the Caifornia Department of Education high school graduation requirements.

Crescent View provides a safe, secure campus where students can learn in a controlled environment. Courses are taught by highly qualified, credentialed, and supportive teachers trained to meet the needs of the students.

Using the information gained through assessment, student skill level and student interests, and their own Supervising Teacher assists the student in making initial course selections. As progress increases and interests change the selection of the courses of study may be modified.

Crescent View Charter High School believes that part of its unique mission is to personalize the learning process to meet the ability, pace and interest of the student. In order to achieve this goal a diagnostic computerized assessment is made of the math and reading ability of all newly registered students.

These assessment scores play a very important part in assisting the Supervising Teacher in enrolling the student in classes appropriate to his/her skill level. The academic progress of each student continues to be measured by the same assessment process at the end of each semester.

Crescent View believes that math and reading skills are the basic components of academic success. To help the student broaden math proficiency, classes of Basic Math Skills, Pre-algebra, Algebra 1 and Geometry are offered.

Students reading below grade level have the opportunity to be a part of our Power Reading Program. This course is designed specifically to meet individual reading needs. Many of our students have made remarkable progress after only 12 weeks of study. Small classes with individualized instruction and extra tutoring support these programs.

To broaden the student’s educational experience elective classes in art, Spanish and computer technology are available, along with many others. For seniors making plans for careers and college, the Senior Portfolio class provides a learning experience that gives each student the opportunity to be familiarized with the process of decision making, job searches, employment applications, college applications and participating in job interviews.

Being a part of community service projects or participating in “job-shadowing” gives the student skills for the adult world.

Employed students can earn high school elective credits. Work permits are issued to students at CVCHS so that students can earn elective credit by working or volunteering. Contact a CVCHS teacher for more information.
