Charter School

New Village Charter High School is the first all girls charter school in California. The school encourages students within a girls-only setting to achieve academic success, emotional well-being, and social responsibility for self, family and community. By providing a rigorous curriculum with an individualized learning plan for each young woman, New Village Charter High School is designed to provide a personalized educational program based on strengths, needs, interests, goals and plans for a productive future.

The school provides individual counseling services and small group problem solving groups to assist young women in addressing personal and human development challenges. Through reflection in Advisory, weekly Group Discussion, journal writing and expression in drama, art, music and dance, girls have the opportunity to foster a positive emotional well-being. New Village offers students the opportunity to participate in community service in near-by agencies. Young women can learn social responsibility by sharing, giving and volunteering in local health, senior citizen, and early education agencies.
