WHAT IS A CHARTER SCHOOL? A charter school is a public school with the freedom to hire its own staff, control its own budget, and design its own curriculum.

Opportunities For Learning Charter School
Provides a WASC accredited individualized academic program for parents wishing to teach their
children at home. Courses are offered at the learning level of each student from basic
skills to college prepatory. Many students and parents have found OFL a rewarding alternative
to the traditional school setting. The parent-teacher works with a credentialed teacher (the
Education Specialist) to develop an individualized learning plan to meet the student's needs,
interests and abilities. The parent/guardian takes the role of the primary educator for
their child with the support of the Education Specialist. Students and parents will then
meet monthly for a Learning Record meeting to turn in the necessary records and discuss
their progress for the past month. Students and parents will find the educational tools they need in a
stimulating environment to learn and receive educational assistance.
