Mission & Philosophy
San Jose Charter Academy, in partnership with parents and the community, aims to equip students with the skills needed to thrive and make a positive impact in the global community. Our plan to ensure student success includes moving all students to proficiency through the implementation of the Common Core Standards, using effective data-driven instruction, providing professional development for instructional staff to enhance teaching effectiveness, and improving intervention strategies. This holistic approach prepares children not only for the current world but also to create a better future.
Special Programs
Our school provides a diverse array of programs both during and after school, designed to nurture students' interests, prepare them for the future, and positively impact their lives.
