Yes! Here in California, charter schools like ours are evaluated using the California School Dashboard, which serves as a report card for all public schools and among other metrics, tracks student achievement and growth through standardized testing. Standardized testing is the key metric the state uses to evaluate charter schools during the renewal process.

HSTs (Homeschool Teachers) partner with families to create an individualized lesson plan. This lesson plan ideally will reflect the family's vision for homeschooling, including the curriculum to reflect the needs of each student. Most secular curriculums could be ordered and used by Clarksville families.  

Incoming families may order curriculum once they've met with their HST and the Master Agreement is signed and approved.

At this time our schools do not reimburse for out-of-pocket purchases. All orders must be placed through the student's ordering account in order to use instructional funds.

As a public charter school through the state of California, we are not able to use public funds on religious materials. Families are not able to order religious materials with funds, nor submit religious work samples.
