As a teacher at PCCS, I'd like to clarify that we are a homeschool/independent study program that serves a diverse student population with personalized learning programs. We do not "teach to the test" and instead customize learning to suit each student, and encourage self-directed learning. Our K-8 students are homeschoolers who have access to curriculum, teacher support, and enrichment activities. Our high school is independent study with optional onsite hybrid classes, including A-G (college prep) courses. We are proud to have a caring community where students feel safe and can be their best selves.
