The Folsom Cordova Charter School supports parents who
choose to home school their children. It is important that
parents understand that they are their child’s teacher.
The Charter School supports these teacher-parents by
providing:
- State approved curriculum,
- An understanding of grade level standards,
- Assessment based on content standards,
- A list of suggested assignments,
- Bi-monthly meetings to review progress,
- Collection of work samples to meet state attendance
requirements,
- Tutoring
- Small group workshops in:
- reading
- math
- science
- social studies
- art
- Field trips
- Parent support groups
A student’s education at the Charter School is based on a
cooperative model known as the Academic Pyramid. The
student, the parent-teacher, and credentialed educational
consultant work together to meet the individualized needs of
one student. That student’s academic requirements and
learning style are at the top of the pyramid. They are
supported by the daily work of the parent-teacher and
bi-monthly meetings with a credentialed educational
consultant. Instead of finding themselves in a classroom of
30 or more students, our single student finds that they are
supported by at least two dedicated adults. The curriculum
and pacing in each subject is chosen to meet the needs of
that one student.
