Thank you to Jennifer Ricco for giving me the inspiration to talk about another school in this great Santa Clarita Valley.  I'm so excited about the new school that my kids go into called SCVi.

The website is: http://www.scvcharterschool.org

and the calender is available at: http://www.scvcharterschool.org/Calendar___Schedule.html

The school is under the Hart School District and will be K-12.  Its a public school but students get in through a lottery so it is FREE.  The first year will be k, 1-4 and 7th.  Every year they will add two grades and then 11th and 12th. 

The difference between this school and most up here in the SCV is that it is project based learning.  To find out more about project based learning, go to:

You could use this link: http://www.scvcharterschool.org/Teacher_Tool_Box.html which gives examples of cirriculum and other resources for the teachers. 

If you want more information, go to the link for the school and email them.  They still have a few slots open .... I think???
