A word from our current Independent Study Teachers...
“Working as an independent study teacher at Yosemite Valley Charter and Monarch River Academy has allowed me to develop professionally while cultivating a healthier work-life balance as a new mom. Every step of the way I have felt guided and supported as I’ve taken a leap of faith into an unknown environment. Moving to a remote role from a brick-and-mortar school site (that I loved) was daunting but getting to know the families/students, school culture, and my peers has been a seamless transition. The school leadership has aided me in this process and developed training to ensure my success in this role. As well as come alongside me as I face trials in my personal life. This role has truly been a dream come true and I cannot wait to see how I grow and develop professionally and personally here.”
“If you are interested in expanding your understanding of how to educate children and are tired of a scripted way of teaching, Monarch River Academy/ Yosemite Valley Charter School will open those doors for you. We are able to see standards-aligned curricula not available to traditional schools and guide and learn from families as they navigate and create amazing learning opportunities that make us love the art of teaching again. The support team available for students who struggle is unparalleled so teachers are not trying to close any gaps alone. The administration actively listens to the wins and losses of the stakeholders of the school and makes changes. This school is nothing you have encountered before, so if you want something very different and exciting, we are worth a shot.”
