About Us
Pacific View Charter School is a direct-funded TK-12 WASC-accredited charter school situated in Oceanside and Moreno Valley serving approximately 1500 students each year. Students have access to an independent study – homeschool format using a blended personalized learning model, which combines classroom time with independent learning.
Pacific View Charter School (PVC) opened its doors to the community in August 1999 serving grades TK-12 and is authorized through Oceanside Unified School District (OUSD). The students who come to Pacific View are those seeking an alternative to the traditional school setting. High School students choose PVC predominantly in their 11th or 12th grade year and are credit deficient in need of a more personalized approach and attention to their specific learning needs. PVC serves the community by giving at-promise students an educational program that meets their social, emotional and academic needs and allows them to remain in school until graduation, which may go beyond four years. Pacific View is recognized by the California Department of Education as having Dashboard Alternative School Status, due to the unique population of high needs students it serves. Families in the TK8 program choose PVC for the smaller school environment, blended personalized learning model, or homeschool format, and the flexibility provided by the program. PVC supports its TK-8 students by providing a robust educational program through a variety of approaches including extra inte/26rvention periods during the school day as well as the introduction of character building and growth mindset programs to build school connectedness and willingness to persevere through both social and academic difficulties.
The ethnic make-up at Pacific View Charter School mirrors that of the surrounding districts for both Oceanside and Moreno Valley. With respect to the cultural diversity of the student population, Pacific View attempts to incorporate and design curriculum that includes the history of students as well as issues relevant to the students today. Through the conscientious selection of texts and materials, PVC pushes students to examine the issues of the past and apply critical thinking to how these issues have been echoed in their own lives and in the world they live in today.
Pacific View Charter School provides every student with a rigorous Common Core aligned academic curriculum and provides numerous academic interventions to address the learning gaps of its students. Through the collaborative efforts of the Supervisory Teacher, the parent/guardian, and the student, a personalized learning plan is developed to address the academic needs of the student while providing a safe and nurturing learning environment for each student. PVC provides students with a small, safe environment in which all students are nurtured and encouraged to thrive and prepare for life beyond high school.
