WHY ROSS VALLEY CHARTER

Our mission at RVC is to encourage curiosity and inquiry, foster cultural competency and social-emotional learning, and develop a confident love of learning. Our program goes beyond project-based education by using inquiry, exploration, and hands-on, immersion-based experiences. The multi-age environment creates strong bonds between students and teachers, and a solid foundation for exploration.

Curiosity is the heart of our program. Our teachers and staff look for ways to allow students to follow their curiosity and have agency in their education. While our students are doing deep-dives into topics like ocean animals, the solar system, immigration, and native plants, they're building strong academic skills and expressing themselves through art, music, and poetry.

At RVC, our focus on learning by doing prepares students to work effectively together in teams, think critically, seek information to solve problems, and be lifelong learners and culturally competent members of our diverse global community.
