YUBA RIVER CHARTER SCHOOL

The First Public Charter School Guided by the Principles of Public Waldorf Education in the United State

There are over two hundred charter schools in the state of California. Although each one may be unique in its mission, program and in the challenges it faces, they all have some crucial elements in common. Charter schools address the need for parents to have expanded choices in the kinds of educational experiences available to their children and involvement in the life of the school. These elements, along with the expectation that the innovations provided by charter schools will translate into overall student achievement and represent the threefold principles of the Charter Movement.

Our vision for a charter school using Waldorf-trained teachers  began several years ago, due to the active interest of many local parents and teachers. This effort culminated in 1994 with the opening of the Twin Ridges Alternative Charter School. The school served kindergarten through grade two under the auspices of the Twin Ridges Elementary School District.

The first year, the kindergarten was situated in the idyllic setting of the John Woolman School children Center. Grades one and two were in a portable building at the Jacobson Dude Ranch in Nevada City. The first year was ushered in under the existing Home Study Charter of Twin Ridges.
