The mission of Diego Hills Charter High School
is to engage students who are no longer a part of the
instructional plan offered by the traditional high school.
Diego Hills will develop individualized "Personalized
Learning" study lesson plans which will enable
the student to be a successful part of the educational
community and to move toward graduation. Diego Hills will
strive to help the student to:
• Master basic skills
• Move toward mastery
of technology
• Develop interest
in life-long learning
• Become a responsible,
contributing member of society
Have the feel of a friendly business office. Students
will have their own appointment every week with their
teacher. At this time lessons will be explained and
assigned. There will be time for questions and discussion.
Students take their assignments home and return for
their next appointment, ready to be evaluated on the
work they have done during the past week. Upon satisfactory
completion, credit is granted immediately.
Consist of core curriculum and electives. Students have
their transcripts evaluated and take assessment tests
to determine the appropriate level of instruction. The
order in which the instruction is offered is purposely
done to maximize learning. Computers are available for
instruction and to assist students with other classes.
It is possible for individualized electives to be a
part of each student's educational plan. Some group
classes are offered as the need and interest for them
develop.
Have the same credentials as other public school teachers.
They enjoy the small classes, usually 1 to 3 students
at a time. They specialize in providing encouragement
and individualized instruction.
Enroll at Diego Hills for a great variety of reasons.
Most had left (traditional public) school before graduation
and now again enjoy and appreciate having a new opportunity
to move toward that goal. Others have found the personalized
instruction and flexible time requirement suit their
needs better than a traditional school. Our student's
ages range from 13 to 60. Some students come to us to
make up classes and then return to traditional campuses.
Others only need a few classes to graduate. It is Diego Hills' ability to accommodate each individual's need
that attracts many to our school's Personalized Learning
model. Very ambitious students may take more than one
class at a time with their teacher's permission.
