Phoenix Charter High School :

Established in 2005, Phoenix Charter is an award-winning school serving an enrollment of 190 at-risk students, grades 8-12. Our school has a designed facility sited on a picturesque twelve-acre campus in east Roseburg, OR. We have outstanding community support and are recognized regionally for our innovative approach. Phoenix Charter School is provided by the Phoenix School of Roseburg, a private non-profit youth development organization founded in 1981.

Our educational model emphasizes a developmental and project-based learning approach unique to our students :

1) Developmental - Some students may not possess social or academic skills needed to benefit from regular high school classroom instruction, positively identify as a student, or possess the confidence of a capable learner. Students will learn our school culture, how to function as capable students, and how to be more capable, engaged learners. This work will lay a foundation for students to continue successful academic engagement in their high school career and beyond.

2) Targeted Curriculum & Instruction - Students successfully engage in coursework and community or school based learn, serve, and earn opportunities that develop their pathway to college and careers. The teacher has academic freedom to design learning and to select curriculum materials most appropriate for students to demonstrate Oregon required learning standards.

3) Early College - Designed to help students prepare for and make the transition to Umpqua Community College. Students build their college experience through on-line community college courses and then transition to on-campus community college coursework to complete final high school credits and to prepare them for a successful college transition.

4) Pathways - In addition to academic instructional assignments, each teacher provides their student cohort with academic advisement, social-emotional skill development, and Pathways to college and career curriculum (first period).

Phoenix is a great school for teachers seeking to make a difference. Our compensation package is comparable to other small, rural schools. Class sizes are small (average 20 students) and teacher creativity is supported in the spirit of improving our student's lives and academic achievements. Many staff members have a long history working at Phoenix and know that they make a difference and are appreciated by students, their peers, our board, and the community.

Roseburg is the service center of rural Douglas County located on I-5 just over an hour south of Eugene and situated just over an hour from the Cascade Mountains to the East, the Oregon Coast to the West, and Rogue River / Southern Oregon to the south. For those who love outdoor recreation and a great place to raise children, Roseburg has much to offer.
