MIDDLE SCHOOL Grades 6-8
Our home school model for sixth through eighth grade students requires that students and their support person (usually a parent or guardian) meet with their California Credentialed Supervisory Teacher once every two weeks for approximately one hour. During this meeting, students share their coursework with their Supervisory Teacher and oral assessments are conducted on content studied during the previous week.
CURRICULUM:
Pacific View Charter School (PVCS) promotes differentiated learning and offers several curriculum solutions for students:
- K12® Virtual curriculum- A combination of interactive online lessons with offline materials, this award-winning curriculum supports students with varied learning styles, allowing the widest variety of students the opportunity to master lesson objectives.
