The Santa Rosa Accelerated Charter School is formed to serve students grades 5 and 6 who show the interest, ability, and promise of succeeding in an academically challenging and specialized setting. Students will be provided high interest, standards-based, real world experiences for learning at the level in which growth proceeds most effectively. Integration of technology and making connections across the disciplines will be the key element of the educational experience. These experiences will provide students opportunities to become self-motivated, competent, and life-long learners.
