Echo Ridge Trails

We are so grateful to have found Forest Charter, it is truly what education should feel like for both students and parents! No matter what our needs are, the school meets our children where they are rather than forcing them to change to meet the school where it is. Whether it has been learning differences that presented difficulties or excelling in certain areas and needing more challenging material, Forest Charter always had the heartbeat of what our two students needed. It is never a perfunctory conversation that is rushed at an Open House, but teachers and administrators are consistently initiating and receptive to dialogue about what students need. This is not done on an annual basis, but on a regular basis and based on what they are observing or what I as a parent broach for discussion. We make a plan together and then as students, they have buy in. Being part of the team, instead of being talked down to, really gives them an investment in their learning that has resulted in results that we never thought possible. Thank you, Forest Charter, for restoring the love of learning! Both our boys thank us regularly for finding them such an amazing school!

YRCS offers the fundamentals of a traditional Waldorf education as a Public Charter School. We couldn't be more pleased with how our child has been held, supported, encouraged, and educated in a method that would usually be at a private school cost. We love not only the community, but the way the school incorporates aspects of the changing of the seasons, with Harvest Festival, Winter Fair, and the May Day Celebrations. The curriculum encourages kids to be kids and builds a strong foundation through not only the fundamentals of learning, but also creativity and curiosity, incorporating music, plays, nature, and crafting. We love this school, and the wait list is an indicator of the high demand in this community for such a scholastic opportunity.

My family has loved this sweet school! I have had three kids go here and all the teachers are great! They have a carnival night around Halloween, a fantastic mini marathon and end of year parties where the kids go to the pool.

great gay bar !! though there is a lack of gay people

So many fights happen here and teachers and the principal does not do anything about it and they tell half the story this is horrible. DO NOT PUT YOU KIDS HERE FOR YOUR SAFETY PLEASE.

We are very happy with our experience at Grass Valley Charter. The community is wonderful and we love the staff and families here. I'm a big fan of the expeditionary learning model that gets them out of the classroom doing some really amazing things. Our kids are thriving and we highly recommend it.
