Golden Valley Charter School (GVCS), in existence since 2001, is a public, non classroom-based program offering an educational model that is tailored to the needs of each individual student. We offer students a wide range of innovative and individualized instructional choices. Our students are all taught in their own communities, primarily in their homes, by their parents. Parents in our school are afforded the privilege and responsibility of facilitating their own student’s education. As a school, we provide accountability, documentation, materials, resources, assessment, and support. We provide a credentialed teacher called the Education Specialist, or ES, who develops a close relationship with the student and the parent.
GVCS is currently serving students in grades K-12 who reside in Ventura, Kern, and Los Angeles counties, with the option to include Santa Barbara county students as interest increases. GVCS is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

Golden Valley Virtual Charter School (GVVCS), newly opened in the fall of 2009, is an entirely virtual program serving motivated, self-directed students in grades 6-12 who are able to work with a high degree of independence. We offer: rigorous online curriculum; scheduling flexibility; multi-layered levels of support; daily access to caring, knowledgeable, fully-credentialed teachers; assessment; and accountability. Students attend school each day online from their homes or other offsite locations.
