Ventura Charter School of Arts and Global Education is a tuition-free public school serving 290 students from Kindergarten through Eighth grade. At Ventura Charter education is not about test scores, 4 hours of homework and drilling information into kids heads. Education is about developing the whole child. At Ventura Charter the community works together. Children, parents, the staff and administration all strive to educate the child in language arts, math, science, the arts, . Through the arts, the environment and using educational concepts children are indoctrinated into learning through emersion. Parents volunteer in the classroom and around campus. Everyone from the child to the parents to the staff have a stake in making the school the best it can be. At Ventura Charter you aren't just in school you are part of a greater community. Our Charter school s progressive, high-quality, student-centered educational program expands educational choices for parents and their children in the public school system, supports a nurturing community of learners, and improves student achievement. http://www.venturacharterschool.org
My child went here for Kindergarten. Unfortunately we had to move. It is a great school! The concept is super and all staff really care about the students. Parent participation is key to the school, only join in if you can give your time to the school.
This is Ventura Charter School's third year of operation and we are so pleased with how this great school is improving. We had faculty changing last year, with 3 of our teachers leaving midyear to have babies. This year we have such an amazing faculty - each and every one is outstanding. I am so happy at this school. It's a big commitment to be volunteering in the classroom every week, as each family is required to do, but the benefits to the children, the learning environment and families are tangible. I am surprised greatschools is only rating the school a 7 - I'd give it a 9, myself, and look for it to become the best progressive, child-focused school in the county in the coming years. I have two kids who go to the school, and we've been there since it opened.
This is a model school that not only teaches academic skills but life skills! By having a 'student-centered' approach, Ventura Charter develops skills that lead to critical thinking, problem solving, and self-motivation. By having parents as active participants, working closely with teachers, they are able to provide a rich curriculum with hands-on projects as the basis for most of the academic work. In addition, there is an emphasis on the arts, culture, the environment, character development, and interpersonal communication skills. This school has made me a better parent and has been a true partner in giving my children a well-rounded education that will prepare them for high school and beyond. Families in Ventura are lucky to have this as a public school option!
